## Summary

The Mid Sussex District Council has awarded a contract for Technical Planning Services to support its Local Plan making work. This further competition was run on Lot 1 of the Homes England Development and Regeneration Technical Services Framework 2023-2027. The contract value is £79,800 GBP, with a contract period starting on March 8, 2024, and ending on September 30, 2024. The procurement method used was selective, calling off from a framework agreement.

This tender opportunity presents a chance for businesses specialising in technical planning services, research consultancy services, and services provided by professional organisations to engage with the Mid Sussex District Council. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are particularly encouraged to participate. The location of the procurement is in the South East region of the United Kingdom.

## Notice

The Planning Policy and Housing Enabling Team is responsible for and is progressing the Council's Local Plan making work. The Team is fully resourced and is led by a Head of Service who will continue to have overall responsibility for the work. However, the Council is looking for an experienced plan-making practitioner to provide critical friend support on its Local Plan as it progresses from Regulation 19 publication to Submission and through Independent Examination. Whilst the support will likely cover a variety of topics and issues, the Council is seeking a practitioner with particular experience in planning for sustainable communities including how infrastructure requirements can be delivered to facilitate high quality places. The support will be provided on an ad hoc basis and respond to the particular issues and challenges that the Council is facing in the progression of its Local Plan. The Council is therefore looking for an individual who can be flexible and responsive to the Council's needs. This is a further competition run on Lot 1 of the Homes England Development and Regeneration Technical Services Framework 2023-2027
