Summary of the contracting process

Erewash Borough Council is commissioning an Employment Land Needs Assessment to support preparation of its new Local Plan and establish the borough’s development needs. The work will provide current evidence on Erewash’s economic prospects and forecast the scale of future business space required up to 2040. It includes assessing prevailing market conditions, reviewing existing employment sites and concentrations of employment land, and estimating the quantitative need for future business space. This is a planning and economic consultancy service, classified as urban planning services (CPV 71410000). Delivery is for Erewash Borough Council and covers the borough of Erewash. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through an open, below-threshold competition. It is a single-lot services contract under the light-touch regime. Clarification queries were due by 13 October 2026 at 4:00pm, and tenders were due by 23 October 2026 at noon. Submissions and queries are made electronically through the EastMidsTenders e-portal. The contract period is 23 November 2026 to 22 February 2027. Its estimated value is £40,000 excluding VAT, or £48,000 including VAT. Award is based equally on quality and price, with each carrying 50% of the evaluation weighting.

This opportunity suits planning, economic development and property-market consultancies able to produce robust evidence for local-plan preparation. Relevant suppliers will need capability in employment land needs assessments, economic prospects and forecasting, market analysis, review of existing employment sites and employment-land concentrations, and quantitative modelling of future business-space requirements. Experience translating economic and property evidence into clear planning recommendations for a local authority would be directly relevant. The work calls for a credible assessment of requirements through 2040, so bidders should be able to analyse current conditions, interpret forecasts and present defensible conclusions for plan-making. The council has identified the requirement as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs.
