Urban Planning and Landscape Tenders and Contracts

Urban planning and landscape procurement covers local plan and planning policy support, design coding, masterplanning, conservation area appraisals, design review panels, and urban-planning-led design teams for town centre and public realm schemes. Landscape and visual impact assessment, landscape consultancy and visualisation software for planning and consultation come up as well.

Stotles brings together urban planning and landscape tenders and contracts from 100+ portals into one search, so you do not have to check each portal separately, and you can set alerts for new opportunities across the UK and Ireland.

If you want to search the government portals directly, Find a Tender carries higher-value contracts across the UK and Contracts Finder carries lower-value contracts in England. Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales and eTendersNI cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Ireland's eTenders covers Irish public bodies, and many councils, NHS bodies and housing associations publish on their own e-tendering portals such as ProContract. Councils appoint urban designers and plan reviewers directly, while landscape architecture is often one discipline inside a design team called off from a professional services framework.

Planners and landscape architects are usually expected to be chartered members of the Royal Town Planning Institute or the Landscape Institute, and LVIA work should follow the Landscape Institute's assessment guidelines. Tenders usually set minimum professional indemnity insurance, check financial standing and ask for evidence of similar commissions at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.

Local councils, combined authorities, transport bodies and development corporations buy this work. National agencies and universities also commission masterplanning and design advisory services for major sites.

Read local plan timetables, regeneration strategies, conservation area review programmes and housing delivery plans, which show work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the councils and developers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.
