## Notice

Central Bedfordshire Council is seeking to appoint suitably qualified consultants to prepare an update to the Water Cycle Study (WCS) for Central Bedfordshire, to support the new local plan. The existing WCS was prepared in 2017 to support the adopted Local Plan and an updated study is necessary to provide the most up to date picture of factors affecting Central Bedfordshire's water and waste water environment including a review of infrastructure and environmental factors, legislative requirements, any new challenges that arise since the last study and any recommended interventions. This is a key evidence base document for the new Local Plan and needs to be commissioned as soon as possible in order to feed into the public consultation in early 2026. The Council will provide as much support and information as it can to help guide you through the quotation process. Questions asked together with the response, will be made available to all tenderers, to ensure a fair and consistent approach to all. If there is anything you are not sure about or need clarification on, please use the Correspondence facility within the In-tend electronic tendering system. Last date for receiving questions on the In-Tend system: 14th April 2025. Completed Quotations and attachments should be submitted electronically by the due date via our In-tend electronic tendering system. Quotations must be uploaded via the My Return section of the system. Quotations submitted through the correspondence facility will not be considered. Your Quotation must be submitted via the In-tend system by no later than 10.00 on Thursday 17th April 2025. Quotations received after that time will be excluded.
