The procurement process is at the tender stage, with expressions of interest due by 5:00 pm on 6th November 2019, and completed tender submissions required by 12:00 noon on 11th November 2019. The service falls under the research and development consultancy category (CPV code: 73200000) and has an estimated value of £80,000. The work is expected to influence housing policy and support growth ambitions within the North West region of the United Kingdom, specifically focusing on affordable housing needs. This opportunity presents significant prospects for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in research and consultancy, particularly those experienced in housing assessments and strategic planning. Businesses that can demonstrate capability in producing comprehensive reports in line with government guidelines will be especially well-positioned to compete. The successful bidder will not only contribute to the Borough's housing strategy but also potentially gain further contracts associated with the implementation of the findings from the survey, thereby fostering business growth in related services. ## Notice Bury Council is seeking to commission a suitably qualified organisation to undertake a Housing Needs and Demand Assessment of the Borough. It is required that the survey will consider and report on all tenures and client groups on a ward and township basis, as well as for the Borough as a whole. The commissioned organisation must also be suitability qualified to use the results of this survey to aid their production of a Housing Strategy for the Borough. This information will support the Council's wider growth ambitions, in particular housing growth.
