## Summary

Castle Point Borough Council (CPBC) has initiated a competitive procurement process to appoint consultants for a visioning study and report on the future of Hadleigh Town Centre in Essex. The study aims to project the town centre's development up to 2040, incorporating key local landmarks such as Hadleigh Castle, the Salvation Army's Hadleigh Rare Breeds Farm, and the Country Park with the London 2012 Olympic cycling track. The procurement stage is currently at the award phase, with CPBC having awarded the contract to Brightcorp Ltd trading as The Retail Group. The contract period is set to start on 12th August 2024 and conclude by 14th January 2025. The project is funded with £41,200 from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

This tender opens significant opportunities for businesses specialising in market and economic research, as well as business and management consultancy services. SMEs and VCSEs are particularly encouraged to participate, enhancing their portfolio by contributing to a strategic project that influences future policy and land use decisions. The involvement in such a comprehensive visioning study not only promises short-term financial gain but also positions participating firms as experts in urban development, providing a substantial boost in reputation and potential for further public sector contracts.

## Notice

Castle Point Borough Council (CPBC) wish to appoint consultants to undertake a visioning study and report for the future of Hadleigh in Essex. The report must be, based upon the research completed, of what an Hadleigh town centre could look like in 2040 and detail recommendations of how this might be achieved once the proposed action plan has been completed. An area wider than the town centre area should be considered as part of the project, to ensure that the relationship between the town centre and local places of interest and recreation, such as Hadleigh Castle (maintained by English Heritage), the Salvation Army's Hadleigh Rare Breeds Farm, Glamping Site, and Country Park with the London 2012 Olympic cycling track are included and proposals to support and maximise the opportunities arising from these facilities are integrated successfully in the study. The report will help enable the Council to plan its policies, future land uses and interventions to ensure the town centre has a long-term sustainable future as the borough's principal town centre on the mainland. Research undertaken should include engagement with residents, businesses, stakeholders and visitors. The project has an allocation of PS41,200 from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund for the work and the appointment will be by way of a competitive process requiring written quotations.
