Planning consultant route →Bring contractor interest into a better-prepared procurement process.

- Let contractors assess broad fit before private client details are released.
- Use project value, location, scope and programme to reduce obviously unsuitable interest.
- Keep professional advice, contractor discovery and final appointment as separate decisions.
