## Summary

The procurement process involved Homes England, which is tasked with improving housing and community development across the UK. The tender, titled "HCA - Multidisciplinary Panel - Garden Communities Toolkit," pertains to real estate services and is located in the United Kingdom. The contract award was published on 26th February 2018, following an end date for the tender period on 15th January 2018. The awarded contract is valued at £77,505 and is set to run from 27th February to 31st March 2018. The procurement process was initiated through a tender method.

This opportunity to develop a toolkit for garden communities presents a significant growth avenue, particularly for businesses specialising in consultancy, web-based solutions, and content development related to urban planning and community engagement. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that possess expertise in creating interactive digital content and those with experience in real estate services are well-suited to compete for similar tenders in the future, enabling them to expand their market presence and contribute to sustainable community initiatives.

## Notice

The core overall objective from this commission is to create a useful, relevant & engaging toolkit to enable dissemination & sharing of good practice and practical support focused on the delivery of high quality new garden communities and provide tools and case studies that can be adapted and used in the process. The key deliverables for this commission are: 1. Development of a format for organising the information, tools and case studies to be included in the toolkit. The format should be suitable for a web-based location and compliant with any technical requirements of the HCA in this regard; engaging and easily navigable for users; potential to be interactive (e.g. including potential for an on-line forum, news area); capable of regular updating & accommodating new content by the HCA. The format should also allow content to be downloaded via PDF formats. 2. Development of content for the toolkit to include an overview of / introduction to key themes / workstreams; development of tools to assist users in addressing key themes where appropriate; at least one case study relating to each of the garden communities currently part of the programme (also to include a generic framework for case studies that can be subsequently used by HCA to update the Toolkit). Content should not be reliant on excessive wordiness, but instead focus on alternative visual and other methods of communicating key messages and tools. 3. Testing and feedback from potential users of the toolkit (to be agreed with HCA) to establish its usability and any completion of any refinements as a result.
