This procurement is classified under the services category, specifically aimed at project management consultancy services, with an estimated contract value of £35,000. The tender was published on 21st December 2018 and proposals must be submitted by 12:00 PM on 7th January 2019, with the evaluation to conclude by 11th January 2019 and appointment expected by 14th January 2019. The successful consultant will be located in the South East region of the United Kingdom and will be required to deliver services commencing from January 2019 through to June 2021. This tender presents an opportunity for consultancy firms specialising in project management and development services to secure a significant local government contract. Businesses with experience in managing planning processes, stakeholder consultations, and regulatory compliance would be particularly well-suited to compete. The open procurement method encourages a range of qualified consultants, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to participate, thereby fostering competitive engagement and potentially spurring business growth within this sector. ## Notice TWBC is inviting tenders from suitably experienced and qualified consultants/consultancies to co-ordinate and oversee the process from the Draft Local Plan (i.e. that to be agreed by PPWG on 09 April 2019) through Regulation ["Reg"] 18 and 19 stages of consultation, to submission (Stage 1) through examination to adoption (Stage 2), in accordance with an agreed timetable. TWBC's preference would be to contract with a single supplier for the delivery of both stages of this project. However, the Council will consider tenders from contractors that are only able to provide services for Stage 1 or Stage 2, and if it deems appropriate will split the contract accordingly.
