## Notice

Portsmouth City Council ('the council') on behalf of the Partnership for South Hampshire (PfSH) is seeking to appoint consultants to provide consultancy advice and support to assess potential strategic development opportunity areas (SDOAs) in order to identify the most sustainable way to deliver new development in the sub-region through to 2036 and beyond. PfSH requires: o A comparative assessment of strategic development options, and o A transport impact assessment and transport modelling to support the comparative assessment These are seen as two separate commissions and the council is offering each commission as a separate Lot. The council intends to award two separate contracts as a result of this tender. The work itself will be a key part of the evidence base that is part of a wider review of the 2016 Spatial Position Statement and the production of a new Joint Strategy. The studies will comprise of: Comparative assessment of SDOAs o Refining of current schedule of potential Strategic Development Opportunity Areas (SDOAs) o Initial analysis of individual locations to identify alternative strategies for development o Sustainability Appraisal o Habitat Regulations Assessment (include Appropriate Assessment) o Consideration of additional aspects including landscape, ecology, biodiversity net gain, environmental net gain, green infrastructure opportunities, health and wellbeing, accessibility, flood risk, wastewater treatment, air quality, mix of uses, capacity, infrastructure, deliverability, viability and phasing Transport Impact Assessments and transport modelling o A separate evidence based study that will run in parallel to and informing the comparative assessment o Transport Impact Assessment of each of the potential SDOAs o Modelling of strategy options - this will require use of the Solent Sub-Regional Transport Model (SRTM) o Testing the preferred strategy Both studies will be presented in separate final reports, both in an electronic version and each with 20 hard copies. Both studies will require a minimum of 5 meetings with PfSH officers and a members' workshop where final findings will be presented. Suppliers are invited to submit tenders for one or both of the lots. Where suppliers submit a return for both lots, PfSH is also interested in receiving an additional variant bid that outlines the benefits (financial, technical, operational etc.) of awarding both contracts to one supplier.
