This procurement, classified under architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services, is currently in the Tender stage, with submissions required by 1st June 2018. The anticipated contract commencement is on 15th June 2018, lasting for 12 months, with the completion expected before spring 2019. The project is important for meeting local planning development requirements and facilitating a review of sporting resources due to population growth. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for consultants specialising in sports strategy, urban planning, and related consulting services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs) that can provide innovative solutions in response to Medway's growing needs. By engaging in this project, businesses can not only contribute to the community's recreational facilities but also establish themselves within the local government sector, potentially leading to further contracts and collaborations in the future. ## Notice Medway Council seeks to engage an appropriately qualified and experienced consultant to produce a Playing Pitch Strategy for Medway following Sport England guidance, as detailed in the Specification of Requirement (Document 2) and in accordance with these instructions (Document 1) and the Council's Terms and Conditions of Contract. With an increasing population Medway Council needs to ensure there are high quality outdoor sport facilities for its residents to access and enjoy. The last study of playing pitch needs, condition and provision was completed in 2012. This is deemed out of date by Sport England for the requirement of completing an up-to-date Playing Pitch Strategy which is also a requirement of the Local Plan development and approval process. Consultants will be expected to complete Stages B to D (including draft Action Plan) of the Sport England guidance. Consultants are invited to submit a quotation to meet the Council's requirements set out in the project brief attached to this Invitation to Quote (ITQ). The Contract is anticipated to commence upon 12th June 2018 and continue for a period of 12 months unless terminated in accordance with the Conditions of Contract. Ideally, all works should be completed before spring 2019. Further details on the full project can be found in the enclosed Project Brief (ITQ Document 2) which has been prepared in conference with Sport England and regional National Governing Body representatives. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/be0bf0a9-11c6-4c58-a2d0-18f0c4baf586 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 May 2018 | | Submission deadline | 1 Jun 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 14 Jun 2018 - 15 Jun 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £20,000 | | 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 | MEDWAY COUNCIL | | Locality | CHATHAM | | Post town | Rochester | | Postcode | ME4 4TR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ4 Kent | | ITL 3 | TLJ41 Medway | | Local authority | Medway | | Electoral ward | Chatham Central & Brompton | | Westminster constituency | Rochester and Strood | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 71000000 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 79000000 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ## Release History - 11 May 2018 at 12:22 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/be0bf0a9-11c6-4c58-a2d0-18f0c4baf586 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/be0bf0a9-11c6-4c58-a2d0-18f0c4baf586 11th May 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertIdc91bf1be-9b52-e811-80eb-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.medway.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
