## Summary

The Oxford City Council recently completed the procurement process for the "Oxford Retail and Leisure Needs Assessment", classified under business analysis consultancy services. This tender was initiated as part of the development of a new Local Plan for Oxford, which aims to enhance the city’s strategic planning until 2036. The procurement was conducted through a selective method with a restricted procedure, and the total contract value was £25,000. The project was active until the end of the contract period on 10 February 2017, and it was officially awarded to Carter Jonas LLP on 11 December 2016.

This project represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in consultancy and market analysis, particularly those with expertise in retail and leisure sectors. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can demonstrate innovative approaches to strategic planning and economic forecasting would be particularly well-suited to compete for such contracts. The successful completion of this assessment will not only inform future retail and leisure developments in Oxford but also foster growth opportunities for firms looking to engage with local councils on similar projects.

## Notice

Oxford City Council is preparing a new Local Plan. It will contain a strategy for the development of the city to the period up to 2036. A key piece of evidence when considering future development will be the Retail and Leisure Needs Assessment. This assessment will forecast future need, based on future population and expenditure forecasts in the context of changing trends in the retail and leisure sectors. Then the amount of future floor space that can be supported within the city will be assessed. This will enable the City Council to consider the range of town centre uses in drawing up a strategy for site allocations and proposed planning policies.
