## Summary

The Ebbsfleet Development Corporation has completed the procurement process for the "Resident Connections Study and Action Plan" in the category of Research and Development Services and related Consultancy Services (CPV: 73000000). This project aimed to develop an actionable plan to enhance connectivity among residents and communities in the garden city. The contract, valued at £30,000, spanned from 5th October 2023 to 5th February 2024, and was awarded to Ambit Studio Limited, a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME), through an open procedure that concluded on 27th September 2023. The study’s main delivery address is in Swanscombe, with the postal code DA10 1EE, England.

This tender provides multiple opportunities for business growth, particularly for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in research and community development services. The development of a robust connectivity plan is critical for communities, and businesses that possess technical expertise in consulting, urban planning, and social research would be well-positioned to compete in similar future projects. The contract’s clear scope and structured timeline can enable efficient project execution and foster significant business relationships with public sector bodies like the Ebbsfleet Development Corporation.

## Notice

This brief therefore sets out an intention to commission the first stage of the Resident Connections Study, which will develop a clear vision and set of objectives based on local need and ambition for improved connectivity between residents, neighbourhoods, and neighbouring communities. This study will develop an Action Plan for achieving the vision and objectives for residents' connectivity in the garden city, as an essential element of our community development approach. This study will be used to inform future phases of the Residents Connections project when resources are available to complete testing ideas with residents and partners and moving toward implementation of tools. This phase of work should sit independently from any future phases of work which may be considered, and therefore should result in clear recommendations and actions.
