## Summary

The Forest of Dean District Council, through the Publica Group, is conducting an open tender for the "Local Plan Economic Viability Assessment" project. This procurement is focused on the services sector, specifically involving research consultancy services, with a total contract value of £45,000 and a minimum value of £30,000. The tender was published on 26th June 2019 and will close on 24th July 2019. The work location is in Coleford, Gloucestershire, with the contract expected to commence on 7th October 2019 and run until 31st March 2020.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities for consultancy firms specialising in economic viability assessments and urban planning, as well as other related service providers. Given the requirement for expertise in the National Planning Policy Framework and the Planning Practice Guidance, firms with experience in public sector projects, especially those able to navigate Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) strategies, would be particularly well-positioned to compete successfully.

## Notice

1.1 The Forest of Dean District Council is seeking to appoint suitably qualified consultants to produce an Economic Viability Assessment report (EVA). The Council requires an EVA to undertake a whole plan viability assessment and viability of Strategic Development Locations to determine the potential level of affordable housing and its different requirements that could be secured against plan policies along with identifying potential Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) rates that could be applied. It must be compliant with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), the requirements of the Planning Practice Guidance (PPG), and will be used to inform a draft CIL charging Schedule as well as providing viability guidance in respect of possible allocation sites.
