UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Norfolk Planning Authorities, including Norwich City Council, are planning the "NRW/30295 Norfolk Strategic Housing Capacity Study," with an expected procurement process beginning in March 2026. Located in the United Kingdom across regions UKH15, UKH16, and UKH17, this tender falls under the industry categories of architectural, engineering, and environmental planning services. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with an invitation for expression of interest required by 10th April 2026. Submissions for the tender must be completed by 8th May 2026. This planning initiative looks to assess and strategise the county's housing capacity up to the year 2050 in light of new national housing targets.

This tender offers significant opportunities for growth for businesses specialised in architectural, engineering, and urban planning services. With a project value of £60,000 and tailored for small and medium-sized enterprises, the procurement process will be competitive based on quality (70%) and price (30%). Consultants with strong team capability, strategic approach, and proven experience in planning services would be well-suited to compete. Engaging in this project could provide valuable insights and affiliations with sub-central government bodies like Norwich City Council and Norfolk County Council, thereby allowing successful bidders to expand their portfolio in public sector projects. Interested parties should send their expressions of interest via email to trevorwiggett@norwich.gov.uk to receive the bidding brief.

Notice Information

Notice Title

NRW/30295 Norfolk Strategic Housing Capacity Study

Notice Description

The Norfolk Planning Authorities comprising Broadland District Council, Breckland District Council, Great Yarmouth Borough Council, The Borough Council of King's Lynn & West Norfolk, North Norfolk District Council, Norwich City Council, South Norfolk Council and the Broads Authority, jointly invite tenders from suitably qualified consultants to produce a Strategic Housing Capacity Study. The study will review the county's capacity to meet the new housing needs targets set by the government through the review of the NPPF at the end of 2024. The Norfolk Planning Authorities wish to appoint consultants to undertake this work covering the seven districts and Broads Authority area within the county of Norfolk. The Councils listed above are the local planning authorities for their respective areas but excluding those parts in the designated Broads area, where the Broads Authority is the local planning Authority. The Councils of Broadland, Norwich, and South Norfolk, are working in partnership with Norfolk County Council through the Greater Norwich Development Partnership and have adopted the Greater Norwich Local Plan. Because of the changes to housing need brought in by the updated NPPF in 2024 most LPA's will be bringing forward revised Local Plans either through the transitional arrangements or through the new local plan process. End dates for the local plans will vary so it is proposed that the study looks until 2050.
