This procurement falls within the urban planning and landscape architectural services industry, with a budget of up to £200,000 earmarked for various projects to be initiated between May 2018 and 31 March 2019. The tender period concludes on 4 June 2018, and the anticipated contract will commence on 25 June 2018, lasting until 1 April 2019. The procurement method is an open procedure, inviting a range of participants to submit proposals. This tender represents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) to engage in meaningful projects that can enhance community spaces. Firms with expertise in stakeholder consultation, project management, and landscape architecture would be particularly well-suited to compete. By collaborating with Catalyst Housing Limited, successful bidders will not only contribute to valuable community enhancements but may also unlock additional funding opportunities and broaden their market presence through community engagement initiatives. ## Notice CHL, through its HEIP 2018/19, is seeking to improve the lives of residents who occupy properties on the estates covered. The existing Catalyst Estate Improvement budget, of around PS200,000, has not always achieved best value and outcomes. By affording residents a greater opportunity to get involved in decisions relating to their public open spaces, it is hoped that benefits beyond simply aesthetic ones can be gained. Catalyst's TRA groups, and other resident forums, are expected to play a large part in shaping decisions around schemes. Through this procurement exercise, CHL is seeking a partner who can help to support the delivery of this aim. CHL has earmarked up to PS200,000 of funds to be spent on suitable projects through this scheme between May 2018 and 31 March 2019. It is envisaged that this would be spent through various projects, and selection of such projects will be based on overall value delivered. CHL believes that best value will be delivered by selecting the four or five most suitable projects, as decided by CHL and residents. We are not being overly prescriptive in this RfP document, as we are seeking a partner who will bring significant experience, and the ability to significantly add value to the Programme, and the funds already earmarked for delivery. Our chosen partner will support CHL in the delivery of such projects in the following ways: *By undertaking local stakeholder consultations in order to understand the views and needs of local residents *By being a coordinator of grant applications *By commissioning designs for schemes which embrace the findings from the consultation process undertaken *By maximising and supplementing the available budget by securing matched/additional funding from various sources for schemes *By supporting schemes through the provision of full costs analysis, and cost controls *By undertaking robust and compliant (against both CHL's policies, and the Public Contracts Regulations (2015)), procurement processes, where agreed schemes are approved to proceed *Where capital schemes are involved, project manage such schemes to ensure the successful delivery of high quality, enduring and endearing works Additionally, CHL is seeking a partner who will be able to attract the support of external funding from various sources, and contribute to CHL's overall budget for these schemes. Such support could come through major sources of grant funding, volunteers from the communities, through to sponsorship, including from local sources. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0333bfe4-8a8a-41a6-82ef-2212aa79887d | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 May 2018 | | Submission deadline | 4 Jun 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 24 Jun 2018 - 1 Apr 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £500,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CATALYST HOUSING LIMITED | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | West London | | Postcode | W5 2AU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI7 Outer London - West and North West | | ITL 3 | TLI73 Ealing | | Local authority | Ealing | | Electoral ward | Ealing Broadway | | Westminster constituency | Ealing Central and Acton | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71400000 - Urban planning and landscape architectural services - 71420000 - Landscape architectural services - 71421000 - Landscape gardening services ## Release History - 14 May 2018 at 14:03 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0333bfe4-8a8a-41a6-82ef-2212aa79887d ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0333bfe4-8a8a-41a6-82ef-2212aa79887d 14th May 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-London:-Request-for-Proposal-to-Support-the-Housing-Estates-Improvement-Plan-2018/19/2TY5PJBM9J Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
