## Summary

Colchester Borough Council has recently completed a procurement process for the "GB-Colchester: Masterplanning" project, focusing on urban planning and landscape architectural services. This open tender aimed to appoint an experienced consultancy to develop a comprehensive master plan and engage the community in the redesign of the Town Centre. The tender period ended on 10 May 2022, and the subsequent contract, valued at £123,000, commenced on 23 May 2022 and will continue until 30 November 2022. The project is expected to enhance engagement and inclusivity among residents and stakeholders, particularly in the East of England.

This opportunity presents significant potential for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and organisations with expertise in urban design, transport planning, and community engagement. Companies with experience in developing innovative engagement strategies that include seldom heard groups will be well-suited to compete for similar projects in the future. Given the focus on co-design with the community, those specialised in collaborative planning and stakeholder management will also find a valuable niche in this area.

## Notice

Colchester Borough Council and Essex County Council wish to appoint an experienced consultancy to prepare an overarching vision, illustrative masterplan, and urban design strategy for the Town Centre, and to lead the community engagement work to ensure these outcomes are co-designed with those who care about our Place. We require a mix of disciplines for this including spatial zoning, master planning, transport planning, urban design, regeneration, and engagement. Such engagement is a key element of this for us. We want to ensure this is an inclusive process for residents, visitors, businesses, and stakeholders alike to ensure communities and those who care about the Town Centre have a meaningful and sustained ability to shape how it develops. The successful bid will need to use a creative variety of engagement methods to ensure diversity with seldom heard and marginalised groups given the opportunity to be included in shaping our town centre. Full details of this opportunity are detailed in the tender documents. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
