## Summary

Arun District Council has awarded a contract to Lepus Consulting for the provision of research consultancy services related to the Gypsy and Traveller Development Plan Document (DPD) for the period of 2011-2031. The procurement was conducted under a selective method using a restricted procedure, with the tender period concluding on 27th June 2018. The contract commenced on 6th August 2018 and is set to conclude on 31st October 2020. The project is based in Littlehampton, West Sussex (postcode BN17 5LF), and focuses on crucial assessments including Sustainability, Equalities Impact, and Health Impact appraisals to support the DPD's development.

This contract presents significant opportunities for consultancy firms specialising in sustainability, health, and equality assessments. Businesses with expertise in regulatory compliance, particularly those skilled in producing Environmental Reports, Equalities Assessments, and Health Impact Assessments, would be well-suited to compete for future contracts of this nature. Engaging in such projects not only enhances a firm's portfolio but also strengthens its reputation in contributing to community development and planning initiatives.

## Notice

This contract has been awarded - Arun District Council wishes to invite suitably experienced and qualified consultants to undertake three assessments, either separately or combined, to support their Gypsy and Traveller Development Plan Document covering the period 2011-2031, hereafter simply referred to as the DPD. This will form an integral part of the evidence base to underpin and support the soundness of the DPD, to ensure the effects on the environment and on people's health are fully considered throughout the document's preparation and that the resultant document does not disadvantage any particular sector of the community. This project brief outlines what the Council expects during this commission/work. The main 3 strands the work is expected to cover are: o Sustainability Appraisal (SA) - the production of report(s), which are compliant with the requirements of the Environmental Plans and Programmes Regulations transposing the needs of the SEA Directive 2001/42/EC into national legislation. This/these should be suitable at the end for submission alongside the final DPD to the Planning Inspectorate; o Equalities Impact Assessment (EqIA) - either integration into a wider document or production of separate report(s), complying with the requirements of the Equalities Act 2010 and any other EU and UK legislation and guidance that may emerge through the DPDs production; and o Health Impact Assessment (HIA) - either integration into a wider document or a separate set of reports produced for each stage of the DPD's production, covering the health impacts including suggesting appropriate mitigation and monitoring, where necessary.
