## Summary

The Malvern Hills District Council is currently involved in a public procurement process for the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review, which focuses on a Landscape and Visual Sensitivity Study for the Malvern Hills area, excluding the beauty area itself. This active tender, with a budget of £50,000, falls under the services category, specifically within the architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services sector. The tender period will close on 14th September 2018, with the contract scheduled to commence on 24th September 2018 and last until 31st January 2019. The procurement is conducted through an open procedure, allowing for broader participation.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to engage in a project that may influence future planning and development in the region. Businesses involved in environmental consultancy, landscape architecture, or related research and development services would be well-suited to compete for this contract, which aims to provide insights for potential employment, housing, and leisure developments in the area.

## Notice

The South Worcestershire Development Plan Review's Malvern Hills AONB Environs Landscape and Visual Sensitivity Study is required to cover the Malvern Hills area (as shown in the tender documentation), but does not include the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty itself as considering landscape and scenic beauty in such designated areas has the highest status of protection in the National Planning Policy Framework. The Study will enable the SWCs to determine which areas of land warrant further planning appraisals, e.g. transport etc, with a view to potentially allocating them for employment / housing or leisure / tourism / sports or recreational development.
