This process falls under the real estate services industry and is located in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method adopted is selective, with the contract period scheduled from 15 March 2021 to 14 November 2021. Key dates include the deadline for tender submission on 4 February 2021 and the award announcement made on 9 February 2021, where the contract was awarded to Lambert Smith Hampton (City) Limited for a value of £49,375. This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) focused on urban regeneration, planning, and land use. Businesses with experience in consultancy for local economic development, connectivity projects, and skills infrastructure will be particularly well-suited to compete. Additionally, the need for potential public relations, media support, and further studies offers avenues for companies specialising in these areas to engage with the project and expand their market presence while contributing to the local community's growth. ## Notice The Council is seeking a suitably qualified and experienced consultant for this second stage of the Town Fund process, to produce the Town Fund Investment Plan (3-month period). This will allow application for funding for Corby up to PS25 million. Further support may be required for possible PR/media support, advertising or further studies to be carried out again dependant on the outcome of stage one. Again, this will be carried out separately and will stay well below the PS50,000 threshold and within the budget set by MHCLG. As the MHCLG has issued very tight deadlines, existing procurement framework are proposed to meet these targets. The first Town Board must take place in January 2020 and Town Plan must be written by January 2021. Projects should focus on the following: 1. Urban regeneration, planning and land use: ensuring towns are thriving places for people to live and work, including by: a. Increasing density in town centres; b. Strengthening local economic assets including local cultural assets; c. Site acquisition, remediation, preparation, regeneration; and d. Making full use of planning tools to bring strategic direction and change. 2. Skills and enterprise infrastructure: driving private sector investment and ensuring towns have the space to support skills and small business development; and 3. Connectivity: developing local transport schemes that complement regional and national networks, as well as supporting the delivery of improved digital connectivity. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f66f05ac-84ce-40dc-9d0a-fb1601d262f0 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a framework agreement | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 9 Feb 2021 | | Submission deadline | 4 Feb 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 9 Feb 2021 | | Contract period | 15 Mar 2021 - 14 Nov 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £50,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £49,375 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CORBY BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | CORBY | | Post town | Northampton | | Postcode | NN17 1QG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF25 North Northamptonshire | | Local authority | North Northamptonshire | | Electoral ward | Lloyds | | Westminster constituency | Corby and East Northamptonshire | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | LAMBERT SMITH HAMPTON (CITY | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 70 - Real estate services ### Codes - 70000000 - Real estate services ## Release History - 9 Feb 2021 at 09:05 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f66f05ac-84ce-40dc-9d0a-fb1601d262f0 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f66f05ac-84ce-40dc-9d0a-fb1601d262f0 9th February 2021 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
