The Borough Council is seeking to commission a consultant to update a Plan wide Viability Study of the Local Plan, policies and allocations. The NuLBC First Draft Local Plan (2023) contained a suite of policies and proposed allocations as part of the consultation document. The Council also consulted on three strategic locations, these were sites of scale in the Green Belt where the Council has sought views on the principle of large scale strategic locations but has not given a view on their suitability. The locations of the three strategic locations are at J16 of the M6, one located at Talke and another at Keele.

The study area is the Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council administrative area. The evidence base in support of the First Draft Local Plan is published on the Borough Council website: - Local plan evidence base - Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council (newcastle-staffs.gov.uk) and includes the Local Plan Viability Study (2023) that supported the First Draft Local Plan. The new / updated viability study is expected to make reference to the 2023 Local Plan viability study for context and should be informed by comments made to the First Draft Local Plan, with relevance to viability. The next iteration of the Local Plan will be the final draft version of the Local Plan (at Regulation 19 stage). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/56e4bd21-f209-4476-acef-888623c54efd | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Jan 2024 | | Submission deadline | 29 Jan 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 5 Feb 2024 - 31 May 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £25,000 | | 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 | NEWCASTLE-UNDER-LYME BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | NEWCASTLE-UNDER-LYME | | Post town | Stoke-on-Trent | | Postcode | ST5 1BL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG2 Shropshire and Staffordshire | | ITL 3 | TLG24 Staffordshire CC | | Local authority | Newcastle-under-Lyme | | Electoral ward | Town | | Westminster constituency | Newcastle-under-Lyme | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 71356400 - Technical planning services - 71410000 - Urban planning services - 90712000 - Environmental planning - 90712100 - Urban environmental development planning ## Release History - 8 Jan 2024 at 17:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/56e4bd21-f209-4476-acef-888623c54efd ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/56e4bd21-f209-4476-acef-888623c54efd 8th January 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JAN167544 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://www.newcastle-staffs.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
