This tender by Lancaster City Council presents an opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise sector (VCSE) businesses in the research and development consultancy services industry. Businesses capable of delivering evidence-based studies and consulting services related to housing and employment requirements would be well-suited to compete.

Interested businesses should consider the specific requirements outlined in the tender documents available for viewing on The Chest supplier portal. ## Notice As part of preparing the evidence base for the Local Plan Review, the Council seeks to commission consultants to undertake the preparation of various evidence-based studies which together will provide the Council with a robust understanding of housing and employment requirements for the district. Exploring these matters will consist of 4 separate studies: A: Lancaster District Gypsy & Travelling Showpeople Accommodation Assessment (GTAA) - which is the subject of this brief. B: Lancaster District Strategic Housing Market Assessment (SHMA). C: Establishing the Housing Requirement for Lancaster District. D: Lancaster District Employment Land Review. All four studies are currently out for tender. Consultants are invited to tender for individual studies or a combination of studies where expertise and capacity allow. Each study will however be procured separately and assessed on its own merit.
