This tender falls under the urban planning services category, with a total value of £30,000, and is being conducted via an open procurement method. The tender period ends on 15th April 2019, and the contract is scheduled to commence on 23rd April 2019, lasting until 22nd August 2019. The evaluation will focus on enhancing green spaces within the borough's settlements, which aligns with the Council's strategy for future urban development. This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses specialising in urban planning, landscape architecture, and environmental consultancy. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in landscape assessment and a thorough understanding of green space management would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. By collaborating with the Copeland Borough Council, successful bidders may enhance their visibility and reputation, contributing to long-term business growth in the local area. ## Notice Copeland Borough Council is currently producing a new Copeland Local Plan 2017-2035 and is updating its evidence base to support and inform the new Local Plan. An important part of the evidence base is understanding and planning for green spaces. The Council is therefore seeking to appoint suitably qualified and experienced consultants to undertake an assessment of the landscape character around the edges of settlements. This will inform and identify areas where development can take place, together with key characteristics to consider/protect, mitigation, landscape development frameworks and areas that are not appropriate for development and could be added to the protected green space designations. This piece of work is being commissioned alongside an Open Space Assessment and review of current Protected Green Spaces in the Local Plan that will ensure that sufficient good quality open spaces and amenity green spaces are available within the borough's settlements. As such the two pieces of work will need to be produced closely to ensure consistency, and may provide opportunities for economies of scale and other benefits. The Tender documents will become available upon expressing an interest in the opportunity via the Chest Portal. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/85098578-abf8-456e-ac70-e7eb9b88809e | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Mar 2019 | | Submission deadline | 15 Apr 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 22 Apr 2019 - 22 Aug 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £30,000 | | 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 | COPELAND BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | WHITEHAVEN | | Post town | Carlisle | | Postcode | CA28 7SJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD1 Cumbria | | ITL 3 | TLD13 Cumberland | | Local authority | Cumberland | | Electoral ward | Kells and Sandwith | | Westminster constituency | Whitehaven and Workington | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 71410000 - Urban planning services - 90712100 - Urban environmental development planning ## Release History - 29 Mar 2019 at 15:55 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/85098578-abf8-456e-ac70-e7eb9b88809e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/85098578-abf8-456e-ac70-e7eb9b88809e 29th March 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=e25965fd-1952-e911-80f3-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.copeland.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
