The procurement process is geared towards consulting services, specifically in environmental and urban planning sectors. The deadline for tender submissions is set for 28th September 2018, with the contract expected to commence on 17th October 2018 and run until 16th October 2019. This opportunity is located in West Midlands, United Kingdom, signalling a focus on addressing flood risks associated with future housing and employment developments in the area. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy and environmental services, particularly those experienced with flood risk assessments, urban planning, and water cycle studies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to compete, given the suitability criteria outlined in the bidding process. Participating companies should be prepared to offer detailed methodologies and cost breakdowns and should ensure their proposals can withstand rigorous evaluation during the Development Plan Review process. ## Notice Malvern Hills District Council is inviting Tenders from Potential Consultants on behalf of the South Worcestershire Councils (SWC) (Malvern Hills District Council, Worcester City Council and Wychavon District Council) for the provision of a Level 1 Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) including a Water Cycle Study (WCS) (stage 1) and a Flood Risk Assessment of Allocated Sites (stage 2). Interested Consultants should submit their proposed methodology to meet the requirements set out in the Specification and provide a detailed breakdown of costs. The submission must be robust, as it will be subjected to detailed scrutiny during the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review (SWDPR) Examination in Public (EIP). The proposal should indicate the timing of each element of work, including submission of draft reports and time for these to be revised before publication of a final level 1 SFRA, Water Cycle Study and Flood Risk Assessment of Allocated Sites reports by end of March 2019 in order to inform the publication of the South Worcestershire Development Plan (SWDP) Preferred Options (PO) scheduled for November 2019. The SWDPR is seeking to balance the areas future needs for housing and employment growth with its environmental limitations (including flood risk). The SWC initially require a level 1 SFRA and associated Water Cycle Study to identify the potential flood risks across the districts, followed by further flood risk assessment work to determine the suitability of 'preferred' development sites as they emerge through the SWDPR process to help produce a robust, detailed and up to date evidence base. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9203d907-8fb0-47aa-b1da-36fa817bfef3 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Sep 2018 | | Submission deadline | 28 Sep 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 16 Oct 2018 - 16 Oct 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | MALVERN HILLS DISTRICT COUNCIL | | Locality | MALVERN | | Post town | Worcester | | Postcode | WR14 3AF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG1 Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Warwickshire | | ITL 3 | TLG12 Worcestershire CC | | Local authority | Malvern Hills | | Electoral ward | Great Malvern | | Westminster constituency | West Worcestershire | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 71400000 - Urban planning and landscape architectural services - 71800000 - Consulting services for water-supply and waste consultancy - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79300000 - Market and economic research; polling and statistics - 79400000 - Business and management consultancy and related services - 79900000 - Miscellaneous business and business-related services - 90700000 - Environmental services ## Release History - 3 Sep 2018 at 11:34 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9203d907-8fb0-47aa-b1da-36fa817bfef3 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9203d907-8fb0-47aa-b1da-36fa817bfef3 3rd September 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - http://procontract.due-north.com/Register Potential bidders will need to register on ProContract in order to be able to access tender documents and to submit a tender at the following link; ## Notice URLs - http://www.malvernhills.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
