## Summary

Tunbridge Wells Borough Council is seeking consultants for the "Garden Settlement Feasibility Study," a project aimed at assessing the potential for establishing a new settlement within the borough. This tender is currently active and falls under the services category, specifically focusing on feasibility studies and advisory services. The procurement method is an open procedure, with a tender period that ends on 31 July 2017. The contract is expected to commence on 18 August 2017 and conclude by 30 November 2017. The total contract value is £40,000, with a minimum value of £30,000, and the location for delivery is within the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This contract presents an excellent opportunity for consulting firms specialising in urban planning, feasibility studies, and strategic development to engage with a local authority on a significant project that may influence future development strategies. Businesses that can demonstrate robust methodologies and a strong track record in conducting similar studies would be particularly well-suited to compete for this tender. With the potential for follow-on work linked to the local plan preparation, successful bidders could expand their engagement with Tunbridge Wells Borough Council beyond the initial feasibility study.

## Notice

Tunbridge Wells Borough Council wishes to commission consultants to carry out a scoping and feasibility study to assess the potential for accommodating a new settlement within the borough. Depending on the outcome of initial feasibility work the study may also include assessment of potential locations promoted by developers and landowners. It is envisaged that the findings of this study, together with other evidence, will assist the Council in drawing up a strategic development strategy for the borough as part of the preparation of a new local plan. There may be potential for follow on work in relation to the various stages of plan preparation. The methodology for the assessments must be robust and able to withstand scrutiny at the Local Plan examination held in due course.
