Planning Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Borders Council is currently planning a procurement process for a Place Making Consultancy Services Framework, with an estimated value exceeding £1,000,000. This initiative, supported by Scotland Excel, invites consultancy services suppliers to provide feedback on the framework's scope and structure. Interested parties must consult with the Council by 12th August 2022, and the anticipated framework will cater to local communities and various partners within the Scottish Borders. The contract period is proposed for an initial two years with the option to extend for a further two years.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for consultancy firms specialising in community planning and engagement, particularly those experienced in the development of Local Place Plans and Town Investment Plans. Businesses with capabilities in stakeholder engagement, project facilitation, and economic strategy development would be well-suited to compete for this contract. As other local authorities may also access services through this framework, consultants able to demonstrate a breadth of expertise and innovative solutions in community development will be particularly advantageous in this competitive process.

Notice Title

Place Making Consultancy Services Framework

Notice Description

Scottish Borders Council would like to engage with consultancy services suppliers to gather feedback on a proposed Framework Agreement for the provision of Place Making Consultancy Services. Currently we anticipate that the Framework will be split into two lots, as described below. However, we would welcome all market engagement to help develop the terms of the Framework prior to a tender being released. Lot 1 - Local Place Plan Consultant for community consultation services to enable the facilitation and creation of Local Place Plans. Lot 2 - Town Investment Plan Consultant for the facilitation and creation of Town Investment Plans to support the Place Plans. The Town Investment Plans will inform economic strategy to drive investment into community proposed projects and initiatives. Consultants will be invited to submit tenders for either or both Lots. A consortium approach would be acceptable to ensure the full range of required skills and expertise is available. A selection of suppliers will be awarded to each lot within the framework based on the results of the tender. Scottish Borders Council is conducting this future tendering opportunity on behalf of several local authorities in Scotland.

Within the proposed contract the successful consultants would be required to resource, facilitate and support the place making initiatives of the Council, and deliver documentation to support and evidence the consultative work. A Town Investment Plan is a working document which moves the town's aspirations, ideas and objectives from the Local Place Plan into fundable business case standard proposals.

For example: - analysis and review of the information contained within the Local Place Plan; - communication plan for any further community engagement; - development of the Town Investment Plan, ensuring it represents each community's aspirations; - evidence to support the business case for community development. This list is not exhaustive, and other examples of effective Place Making are welcomed.

Additional information: Other local authorities may access the services on this framework and will have similar requirements. These will be known in more detail when the final tender is released. If this is the case, they will bring their own funds for Place Making Consultancy Services in addition to the value quoted in this notice.

Renewal: Proposed contract period is for an initial two years with the option to extend for a further two years.
