## Summary

The contract period will commence on 9th September 2021, spanning until 31st December 2023. The tender falls under the classification of geological and geophysical consultancy services.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in consultancy services related to economic development, planning, and research. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to respond, given that the work pertains to policy analysis and employment growth strategies. Firms with experience in delivering similar consultancy services are encouraged to participate to assist South Staffordshire District Council in shaping its Local Plan effectively.

## Notice

South Staffordshire District Council (SSDC) wishes to invite suitably experienced and qualified consultants to undertake an Economic Development Needs Assessment (EDNA) for the district in accordance with national guidance contained in the Planning Practice Guidance (PPG). The EDNA will should provide an up to date position on the employment requirements of the District and underpin new employment land policies and proposals in our emerging Local Plan. Discreet from the EDNA report, submissions should scope for providing policy advice relating to a number of key issues and challenges around planning for employment growth that we are currently grappling with through the preparation of our Local Plan
