The procurement stage is completed, with an award date of 15th May 2025, and the contract period running from 15th May 2025 until 31st March 2026.

Notice Information

Notice Title

T0677C Third Party NSIP team Technical Partner Extension Scope C (Group)

Notice Description

As described in S101.1, there remains a degree of uncertainly around many of the third-party projects for the interim settlement year, including those which are currently paused by the developer and the future pipeline of projects that may be managed by the Client. Additionally, while we continue to work closely with developers to understand any new requirements or likely changes, the scope of work required is dependent on the timelines set by third parties. Therefore, the support provided by the Consultant needs to be sufficiently flexible to strike a balance between being responsive and remaining efficient, including continued Client access to a wide range of technical knowledge and expertise in order to meet changing priorities. At the time of writing, the projects currently being managed by the Client, and are therefore likely to require support from the Consultant, are as below: GROUP (WO Scope c) - Policy and guidance development (TPNSIP E&C Plan) - TPNSIP team development and group PMO activities - TPNSIP response to NH Spatial Planning change and government reform - Ongoing assessment of any new third party proposals and opportunities and strategic advice to support transformation
