This tender, published on 27th November 2025, falls under the industry category of feasibility study, advisory service, and analysis (CPV: 71241000). The procurement process is at the tender stage and is being conducted as an open procedure below the threshold. The opportunity is centred in the East of England, United Kingdom, with a submission deadline of 19th December 2025. The resulting contract is scheduled to run from 19th January 2026 to 18th October 2026, with interim outputs expected by March 2026 and final completion by July 2026. This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in community planning, infrastructure analysis, and related advisory services. Companies experienced in conducting comprehensive studies and providing strategic recommendations will be well-suited to compete. The project offers the potential for business growth by allowing successful bidders to establish themselves in the public sector consultancy market, particularly within the East of England. As the work involves diverse studies including alternative food-growing spaces and community infrastructure, it is ideal for firms capable of handling complex, interconnected projects. ## Notice The Councils are seeking suitably qualified consultants to: by July 2026 (with an interim output required in March 2026), prepare three separate (but inter-related) studies for the Greater Cambridge combined area, as follows: An Allotment & Alternative Food-Growing Spaces Study; A Burial Grounds Study; and A Community Infrastructure Study. Support the councils during the plan making process on any issues related to matters relating to the study's topic area, including at examination. (Given the uncertainties relating to timing and nature of this element of the work, we are initially seeking a quotation for day rates, with the precise scope and timeframes confirmed should the Councils seek to extend the contract beyond Summer 2026).
