The procurement method utilised is an open procedure, with the deadline for submissions set for 3rd April 2019. Once awarded, the contract will commence on 8th April 2019 and is scheduled to last until 8th April 2020. The total value of the contract is £80,000, and it is situated within the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialised in sustainability assessments, urban planning, and environmental consultancy services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in research and development are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, given the emphasis on sustainable development and the integration of environmental assessments. Companies with a strong local presence in Bradford or experience with local government projects may find this opportunity advantageous for fostering growth and expanding their service offerings. ## Notice Context: The Bradford Local Plan consists of a portfolio of Development Plan Documents (DPDs), including two Area Action Plans and a recently adopted Core Strategy. Following recent changes to the planning system including the publication of the revised National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) (July 2018) and introduction of a standard methodology for calculating local housing need, together with changes in local policy circumstances, the council has recently started a formal review of its adopted Core Strategy. In parallel the Council is also progressing a Site Allocations DPD to identify the key remaining allocation sites that will support the strategic development requirements identified through the Core Strategy, including housing and employment sites. Sustainability Appraisal: National planning policy states that local plans are key to delivering sustainable development and they must be prepared with the objective of contributing to the achievement of sustainable development . Sustainable development seeks to strike a balance between economic, environmental and social factors to enable people to meet their needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It is therefore important that the Bradford Local Plan - Core Strategy DPD: Partial Review and Site Allocations DPD contributes to a sustainable future for the district. To support this objective, the Council is required to carry out a Sustainability Appraisal (SA) of the Local Plan . SA is a means of ensuring that the likely social, economic and environmental effects of the Local Plan are identified, described and appraised and also incorporates a process set out under a European Directive and related UK regulations called Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA). Where negative effects are identified, measures will be proposed to avoid, minimise or mitigate such effects. Where any positive effects are identified, measures will be considered that could enhance such effects. At a strategic level, the SA will also help to inform the selection of plan options by appraising reasonable alternatives in respect of, in particular, different levels of growth that could be accommodated in Bradford District over the plan period, the distribution of growth between settlements and site allocations. The SA will therefore be an integral part of the preparation of the Local Plan. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7413b726-cb45-42f0-9385-225332c45ff7 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Mar 2019 | | Submission deadline | 3 Apr 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 7 Apr 2019 - 8 Apr 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £80,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BRADFORD METROPOLITAN DISTRICT COUNCIL | | Locality | BRADFORD | | Post town | Bradford | | Postcode | BD1 5RW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE41 Bradford | | Local authority | Bradford | | Electoral ward | City | | Westminster constituency | Bradford West | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 71000000 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 6 Mar 2019 at 14:55 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7413b726-cb45-42f0-9385-225332c45ff7 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7413b726-cb45-42f0-9385-225332c45ff7 6th March 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.bradford.gov.uk/planning-and-building-control/planning-policy/planning-policy/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
