This project falls under the urban planning services category and has a total contract value of £60,000.

This tender presents opportunities for firms specialising in urban planning, technical analysis, consultancy services, social research, and economic research. Businesses that excel in providing evidence-based studies and consultancy for local government can compete effectively for such contracts, particularly those that understand the nuances of developing local plans and community engagement in retail and leisure sectors. As the procurement is relative to community services, organisations with experience in public sector contracts and a strong background in associated research methodologies would be well-placed to pursue similar opportunities.
