## Summary

Swale Borough Council is seeking a supplier for a high-level viability and deliverability assessment for the New Garden Communities project. This procurement falls under the services sector, specifically development consultancy services (CPV code: 73220000). The procurement, conducted through a selective method as a call-off from the ESPO Framework Agreement, is currently in the Award stage, with the contract having a value of £32,000. The contract period commenced on 5th August 2019 and concludes on 4th October 2019. The tender submission period has ended as of 2nd August 2019, with the award notice published on 16th August 2019.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in development consultancy and viability assessments. Businesses focused on urban planning, economic analysis, and site deliverability evaluations would be particularly well-suited to compete for similar contracts, ensuring they can provide the Council with the expertise required to assess the feasibility of multiple site developments effectively.

## Notice

Recent revisions to the National Planning Policy Framework and National Planning Practice Guidance have placed an increased emphasis on viability assessments at the plan making stage, as well as site promoter engagement in this process. A high level viability and deliverability assessment is required to determine whether the Council's vision for New Garden Communities is reasonable and feasible at each of the 4 sites. A more detailed assessment of site deliverability (and viability) is required to inform the Council's site selection process going forward through the Local Plan process.
