## Summary

The Malvern Hills District Council is conducting a market sounding exercise titled "Market Sounding Exercise - Review of the South Worcestershire Infrastructure Development Plan." This initiative is part of the planning stage and aims to engage with potential suppliers before inviting tenders for a review of the South Worcestershire Infrastructure Development Plan. The engagement period ends on 9 January 2019, and the call for documentation is accessible through ProContract. The procurement falls under the industries of research and development services and related consultancy services, with an estimated value of £25,000.

This tender presents a promising opportunity for consultancy firms specialising in infrastructure planning, development, and research services. Businesses that can demonstrate relevant experience and qualifications in such areas are well-suited to register their interest. Participating in this market engagement helps firms establish their capabilities, potentially leading to a formal tender invitation and contributing to local development projects in the West Midlands.

## Notice

This is a call for market sounding prior to the prospective invitation of suitably qualified and experienced consultants to tender for the opportunity to undertake a review of the South Worcestershire Infrastructure Development Plan (IDP) as part of the review of the South Worcestershire Development Plan (SWDP). This is not a call for tenders nor a pre-qualification exercise. Market sounding focuses on suppliers as a whole, rather than the merits of individual suppliers. It includes no aspects of supplier selection or bid evaluation. There is no commitment of any kind inferred by either party. Additional information: In order to register an interest in this early engagement exercise and to access documentation, please register for free on ProContract here:- https://procontract.due-north.com/SupplierRegistration/Register
