## Summary

The West of England Combined Authority, in collaboration with South Gloucestershire Council, has issued a tender titled "Definition and Feasibility Study - Opportunity for Growth in the West Innovation," under the industry category of feasibility study (CPV code: 79314000). This procurement process, currently in the Tender stage, aims to evaluate the potential for substantial growth within the West Innovation Arc, including enhancing housing delivery and development into a new City District. The procurement method is an open procedure below threshold, with a tender period ending on 8th November 2024. The contract is set to start on 18th November 2024 and conclude on 14th March 2025. The project is valued between £60,000 and £75,000, and suitable for SMEs.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in urban development, feasibility studies, and housing projects. It is particularly well-suited for SMEs looking to expand their portfolio in strategic regional growth projects. Winning this contract could position businesses as key players in a transformative initiative, thus enhancing their market reputation and opening doors to further opportunities in public sector tenders. The nature of the project demands expertise in delivering scalable and community-benefitting solutions, making it an excellent opportunity for innovative firms in the planning and development sectors.

## Notice

Together, the West of England Mayoral Combined Authority and South Gloucestershire Council wish to explore the opportunity to catalyse further transformational change in the West Innovation Arc. This includes unlocking a step change in housing delivery above the 6,500 homes currently planned for at the Brabazon development and harnessing opportunities to deliver growth across the wider Arc. At this increased scale, the development site and environs would take on the role and function of a new City District. We want to investigate whether this is realistic and deliverable in a way that ensures existing communities can benefit from this new role and function.
