This initiative falls under the urban planning services industry category and aims to develop a comprehensive assessment and strategy for sports facilities within the borough, addressing needs up to the year 2032. The buyer has set a budget of £30,000 for this project, with the engagement period having ended on 17 August 2019. The work will support the preparation of the Council's emerging new Local Plan, which is anticipated to include key strategic policies and site allocations. This tender presents a significant opportunity for consultancy firms specialising in urban planning and sports facility assessments. Businesses able to demonstrate expertise in preparing comprehensive needs assessments, adhering to national policies, and providing strategic insights would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Furthermore, those familiar with the intricacies of public sector procurement processes will find this opportunity appealing as it involves not only the development of strategic documents but also potentially acting as an expert witness during the Local Plan examination scheduled for autumn 2020. ## Notice 1.1 Epsom & Ewell Borough Council (the Council) is inviting experienced consultants to submit bids to prepare a borough-wide Indoor and Outdoor Sports Facilities Needs Assessment (Assessment) and a Playing Pitch Strategy (Strategy). These documents will be used by the Council to inform the preparation of the emerging new Local Plan. The emerging Local Plan sets out the future spatial strategy for the Borough and will include site allocations, strategic policies and more detailed policies. The assessment will in particular aid the infrastructure planning process. 1.2 The purpose of the commissioned work will be to provide an up-to-date and comprehensive assessment of current and future sports facilities/playing pitch need up to 2032. Complying with national policy and guidance, this will provide the Council with a robust and up-to-date evidence on sport facility and playing pitch need. The conclusions and recommendations will inform and support the new Local Plan, help maximise the efficient use of existing resources and guide any future investment to the areas of most need. 1.3 In addition to providing the Assessment and associated Strategy, the appointed consultant will be required to act as an expert witness (if required) for the Council at the Local Plan examination in relation to indoor and outdoor sports facilities/playing pitch need. The examination is likely to be scheduled for autumn 2020. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d8b13131-90f0-40e6-91eb-3b9549548aeb | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Sep 2019 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 17 Aug 2019 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | 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 | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | EPSOM AND EWELL BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | EPSOM | | Post town | Kingston upon Thames | | Postcode | KT18 5BY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ2 Surrey, East and West Sussex | | ITL 3 | TLJ26 East Surrey | | Local authority | Epsom and Ewell | | Electoral ward | Town | | Westminster constituency | Epsom and Ewell | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71410000 - Urban planning services ## Release History - 20 Sep 2019 at 13:38 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d8b13131-90f0-40e6-91eb-3b9549548aeb - 17 May 2019 at 14:35 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/145d8db0-2161-4ebc-8a89-91c440a305ed ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d8b13131-90f0-40e6-91eb-3b9549548aeb 20th September 2019 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/145d8db0-2161-4ebc-8a89-91c440a305ed 17th May 2019 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.epsom-ewell.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
