## Summary

The Southend-on-Sea Borough Council is currently seeking tenders for the "Strategic Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (SHELAA)" project, focusing on the architectural, construction, and engineering services sector. This procurement process is classified under an "open procedure" and falls within the services category. Tenders must be submitted by 25th September 2017, with the contract expected to commence on 30th October 2017 and run until 27th July 2018. The contract value is estimated at £60,000, and the project is located in the East of England.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for consultancy firms, particularly those with experience in survey work, planning, and land assessments, to engage with local government projects. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to apply, as the Council aims to work with suitably qualified consultants who can deliver a robust assessment throughout the project duration. Participation in this assessment will enhance visibility and pave the way for future projects related to urban planning and development.

## Notice

Tenders are invited from suitably qualified consultants with relevant experience who are able to demonstrate sufficient skills and capacity to carry out survey work, assessment and review necessary to produce the SHELAA for the Council. The project brief available via the Councils e-tendering portal outlines the policy background, the Council's expectations for the SHELAA, and details the requirements for tender submissions. In summary the Council requires a robust assessment of land availability in conformity with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and Planning Practice Guidance to inform the production of the Southend new Local Plan. The assessment should be proportionate, building, where possible, on existing information sources outlined in the guidance and utilising the information provided by the Council, including details of existing Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) sites and outstanding permissions. The final report should be user-friendly and concise, providing clear outputs capable of regular review and monitoring. To view this opportunity tenderers must be registered on the Council's e-tendering portal ProContract https://procontract.due-north.com All tender submissions and clarifications must be made via the portal.
