The scope for this appointment will encompass Services required to ensure the successful planning and delivery of the Science and Industry Museum Masterplan. The scope of work is to provide strategic advice to progress a programme of work across the site. It is not intended to deliver individual planning applications on behalf of individual projects within the programme (these will be delivered via individual project teams). The strategic advice however is intended to support a productive relationship with Manchester City Council Planning department and to ensure a coherent plan is developed regarding site wide planning applications. The Planning Consultant will be required to liaise, collaborate, and coordinate with the lead design organisations where necessary throughout the course of the programme. This contract will also be used for any other planning queries that arise during the term of the agreement for this site.

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 71. The category anchor is Architectural, engineering and planning services (71240000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.
| Comparison set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 71 | 9,734 | 5 median · 29.5 average (3,881 of 9,734 with a bid count) | 4.1 average (4,258 of 9,734 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 10 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 751 | 3 median · 6.2 average (13 of 751 with a bid count) | 2 average (13 of 751 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.
Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
No planning milestones published.
No linked framework, prior procurement or reprocurement published.
Diagnostic view. “Not published” means this current release does not provide a value.
