This procurement process falls under the real estate services industry, specifically focusing on urban planning and landscape architectural services. The tender is currently at the active stage, with a deadline for submission set for 8th December 2015. The project aims to examine the health of Horsham town and its commercial viability, taking into account a series of economic and community factors. The contract period is expected to commence on 14th December 2015 and conclude on 29th February 2016. The main delivery address is located in Horsham, South East England (postal code RH12 1RL). This tender presents a valuable opportunity for consultancy firms specialising in urban planning, retail analysis, and local economic development. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in conducting comprehensive health checks of town centres, along with innovative strategies for enhancing local retail environments, would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Successful applicants will not only contribute to the future viability of Horsham town but may also establish long-term relationships with the council and other stakeholders through collaborative projects. ## Notice Quotations are invited for the provision of consultancy services in respect of the preparation of a main town centre uses health check for Horsham town. Consultants wishing to submit a quotation must comply with all requirements of this invitation. The requirements of the study are: a) Review of the health of Horsham town taking into account mix of uses, level of vacant premises, commercial yields and rents, accessibility and environmental quality of the town centre. As part of this work it is expected that the views and behaviour of customers will be sought, as will those of retailers including their future intentions for growth and change. b) Review the robustness of the current and future role of the Horsham town within the wider district and regional hierarchy taking into account recent changes within the town and shopping styles ('e' and 'm' retail commerce). An analysis of the barriers to Horsham town retailing or enhancing its role in the regional hierarchy in the future should be presented. c) Taking into account Horsham's current and potential place in the retail hierarchy and results of the health check, forecast the future retail and facility requirements together with other factors such as the changing land-use planning context (e.g. loss of office space to residential) and increased provision of housing. Identify the likely future retail challenges particularly over the next 5, 10 and 15 years. d) In order to ensure the long term vitality and viability identify whether any new retail floorspace is required and the likely timeframe for this. The study should also identify any development / redevelopment or expansion opportunities, although this will need to take into account the need to maintain the historic character of the town and the unique offer of high street and independent store. This will also need to ensure a town centre first approach rather than the provision of new retail at Broadbridge Heath Quadrant e) To work collaboratively with other consultants as part of the Horsham Town Centre Vision 2015-2025 project to specifically inform the development of the future vision of the town centre from a retail perspective and how this may complement other strategies such as hotel provision, leisure provision or employment. This may also require presentation of the outcomes of the study at a Member Briefing event (two meetings).
