The documents will support the Local Plan Update to shape new development in the district, focusing on carbon reduction targets and net zero carbon development. The procurement method is an open procedure, with a contract period starting on 30th November 2023 and ending on 29th November 2024. The tender period concludes on 8th November 2023. This tender presents opportunities for businesses in research and development, environmental services, and consultancy sectors. Suitable businesses could include those specialised in sustainable design, infrastructure and renewable energy, and technical analysis. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate in this tender, which aims to guide the district towards a low and eventually net zero carbon future to build local resilience. ## Notice A key issue for consideration in the Local Plan Update is the role of planning in responding to the climate emergency to its fullest potential. This will include setting robust evidence based carbon reduction targets and delivering net zero carbon development, or as close to this ambition as possible, whilst still accommodating the required level of growth. The purpose of the Climate Change evidence base is to support the Local Plan Update to shape new development in the district in ways that mitigate and adapt to climate change and will support our transition to a low and eventually net zero carbon future whilst building in local resilience. This evidence base will need to be compliant with the legal duties placed on local planning authorities in respect of climate change mitigation and adaptation as well as the requirements of the NPPF as outlined in section 2. (In ITT) Six documents are sought within this commission initially, followed by two further elements of work relating to later stages of preparation of the Local Plan Update. In summary, the scope of the work required is: * Document A: The role of the Local Plan Update in responding to climate change * Document B: Position statement and analysis of baseline and forecast future emissions * Document C: The contribution of sustainable design to achieving net zero carbon * Document D: Assessment of spatial strategy options * Document E: Infrastructure and renewable energy * Document F: Offsetting and sequestering emissions * Task G: Review of the draft proposed submission Local Plan Update (or equivalent) * Task H: Input in examination in public of the Local Plan Update ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8ed0a04e-93fb-4a19-82e5-9720b5708958 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Oct 2023 | | Submission deadline | 8 Nov 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Nov 2023 - 29 Nov 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £90,000 | | 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 | HUNTINGDONSHIRE DISTRICT COUNCIL | | Locality | HUNTINGDON | | Post town | Peterborough | | Postcode | PE29 3TN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH42 Cambridgeshire CC | | Local authority | Huntingdonshire | | Electoral ward | Huntingdon North | | Westminster constituency | Huntingdon | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 71621000 - Technical analysis or consultancy services - 71800000 - Consulting services for water-supply and waste consultancy - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 90700000 - Environmental services ## Release History - 6 Oct 2023 at 11:22 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8ed0a04e-93fb-4a19-82e5-9720b5708958 - 6 Oct 2023 at 11:01 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f5a0defd-a7f9-42d6-8c60-1ffe5e98535f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8ed0a04e-93fb-4a19-82e5-9720b5708958 6th October 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f5a0defd-a7f9-42d6-8c60-1ffe5e98535f 6th October 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=c715da31-3764-ee11-8124-005056b64545 Advert ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
