## Summary

Birmingham City Council is inviting tenders for the project titled "QU113 - Assessment and Proposition for Growth of Life Sciences Sector in Birmingham." This procurement falls under the industry category of feasibility studies and advisory services, specifically aimed at enhancing Birmingham's life sciences sector, particularly within the Edgbaston and Selly Oak regions. The procurement method is an open procedure, with the tender period concluding on 25th May 2018. The contract period is set to commence on 30th September 2018 and will last until 30th September 2019. Interested bidders must register with the e-tendering system, In-tend, to participate in this process.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in research and development services, feasibility studies, and strategic consultancy within the life sciences sector. Companies that are adept at delivering comprehensive studies and analyses in health-related activities, urban planning, and economic development will be well-suited to compete. Engaging in this contract could enable suppliers to strengthen their portfolios and establish robust partnerships within the prominent life sciences community in Birmingham.

## Notice

The vision, set out in the Birmingham Development Plan and echoed in the Economic Zones Prospectus, firmly articulates the forward thinking strategy that the City Council and its multi-faceted partners intend to pursue, to make sure that Birmingham remains the West Midlands capital, the UK's second city and a major player internationally. An important element of the vision is recognition of Birmingham's pre-eminence in the life sciences sector, centred within Edgbaston / Selly Oak, and primarily focussed on the Queen Elizabeth II Hospital and University of Birmingham campuses. A forward looking partnership has been formed to explore major development possibilities on these campuses (and the Life Sciences Campus which is currently being prepared for development), as well as other sites in the wider Selly Oak / Edgbaston area. In order to make informed decisions about the potential economic benefits of co- locating health related activity alongside education and Life Sciences on the Edgbaston campuses, a comprehensive study is required. The brief sets out the work required to produce it, which in turn will help in the production of a spatial Masterplan establishing the long-term vision for the area, the scale of opportunity, and defining the planning, urban design and transportation strategies.
