This project is classified under the environmental planning and consultancy services industry and is located in England, United Kingdom. The procurement process followed an open procedure, and the tender stage was completed on 13th December 2024. The contract commenced on 3rd February 2025 and will run until 17th July 2026, with a value of £125,000. This opportunity is particularly beneficial for businesses experienced in environmental planning and consultancy services, providing avenues for involvement in strategic site development and planning within Maidstone. SMEs and VCSEs are especially well-suited due to the suitability criteria outlined by MBC. Engaging in this contract will allow businesses to contribute significantly to shaping crucial community and environmental developments while establishing themselves as key partners in local government projects. ## Notice Maidstone Local Planning Authority (MLPA) is inviting suitably experienced consultants to tender to provide support to officers preparing three Strategic Site Supplementary Planning Documents for Heathlands Garden Settlement, Lidsing Garden Community and Invicta Park Barracks. The three strategic sites were allocated in the Maidstone Local Plan Review 2021-2038 (MLPR), through policies LPRSP4(A), LPRSP4(B) and LPRSP5(B) and require MLPA to work with each site promoter to produce an agreed SPD to masterplan and facilitate delivery. The site promoters produced evidence to support the site allocations in the MLPR and they will now be taking that evidence base further to support MLPA. MLPA will be using the evidence to prepare the SPDs, which will incorporate framework masterplans prepared by the promoters. This will then be consulted on and adopted, in accordance with statutory requirements, ensuring the MLPR policy requirements for the SPDs are met.
