Summary of the contracting process

Erewash Borough Council is commissioning a Housing Needs Assessment and a Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation Assessment to support its new Local Plan. The work will assess the types of homes needed in the borough and the accommodation needs of Gypsy and Traveller communities, informing related planning policies. This evidence will help the council plan for the borough’s expected requirement for 6,800 new homes by 2040. The requirement is for research and assessment services, delivered for Erewash Borough Council in Erewash, Derbyshire.

The council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The single-lot contract was assessed equally on price and quality, each weighted at 50%. The enquiry deadline was 13 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and the submission deadline was 23 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract period is 28 December 2026 to 30 April 2027. The estimated value is £55,000 excluding VAT (£66,000 including VAT). Electronic bid submission was permitted. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This opportunity suits consultancies and research providers with the expertise to assess housing need and Gypsy and Traveller accommodation requirements, and to translate findings into evidence useful for local planning policy. Suppliers should be equipped to undertake the assessment work for a borough-wide housing requirement and produce conclusions that can inform the council’s Local Plan. The buyer identified the contract as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller specialist practices and mission-led organisations may be well placed to compete. Price and quality carry equal weight, making both a competitive commercial offer and a strong delivery approach relevant.

Notice Description

Erewash Borough Council (EBC) have now started work on a new Local Plan, which will be produced in conformity with the provisions of the new National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) (Aug 2026). The Planning Policy team is currently embarking on developing an appropriate evidence base to ensure that a new Local Plan is able to be finalised and approved over the next 2.5 years, in line with Government expectations that councils can produce a Local Plan within 30 months, once Gateway 1 is passed which is timetabled to occur towards the end of October 2026.
