Civil and structural engineering firm BSP Consulting is celebrating a hat trick after being named as an approved supplier to a third development consortium.

BSP Consulting, which has offices in Nottingham, Derby and Leicester, has already won approval onto two separate four-year framework agreements to provide engineering services to the Quantum Consortium and the Riverside Partnership.

This has allowed BSP to tender on regeneration and housing schemes that are being carried out in the North West and the East Midlands.

Now the firm has learnt that it has become one of eight civil and structural engineering companies to be named on an approved list of tendering businesses for Longhurst Group, based in Boston, Lincolnshire.

Longhurst Group is made up of six member companies providing affordable housing and care, with more than 15,000 homes in around 40 local authorities in the Midlands.

"This is excellent news for BSP Consulting, and we are delighted that we have been given approval to tender for schemes being planned by Longhurst Group," said BSP managing director David Sumner.

"Gaining framework agreements is the first step towards working with housing developers, and opens doors for us by allowing us to tender for work. We are proud that BSP Consulting has now been successfully chosen as an approved supplier on three separate framework agreements to three different development partnership groups.

"Working with associations who are building and providing affordable homes is an attractive area to be working in at the moment, given the condition of the private housing market."

BSP Consulting, which is this year celebrating its tenth anniversary, has offices in Oxford Street, Nottingham, Pride Park, Derby, and De Montfort Street, Leicester. The firm works across the UK, and is currently involved in schemes in a number of areas including Scotland, East Anglia and the West Midlands.
