Tender: Henley Road Cemetery Extension Design and Management Consultancy – Reading Borough Council

About

Reading Borough Council is seeking to appoint a specialist multi-disciplinary design and management team to deliver the Henley Road Cemetery Extension required to secure burial capacity for Reading beyond 2030, as the existing cemetery approaches capacity and alternative options have been determined to be unsuitable or unviable. The commission covers delivery of RIBA Stages 1–6, including design development, planning and statutory approvals, project management, construction support, environmental permitting, and completion of a three-year Tier 3 groundwater monitoring and risk assessment programme. The appointed consultant team will coordinate all required disciplines, manage stakeholder engagement, navigate a sensitive planning and environmental context, and ensure successful delivery of a strategically important project that safeguards long-term burial provision for the local community.
