## Summary

The Milton Keynes Council is currently in the planning stage of a public procurement process titled "Expression of Interest," focusing on the industry category of infrastructure works consultancy services. The project aims to commission a 'City Wide Infrastructure Study' to evaluate infrastructure needs arising from anticipated housing and employment growth outlined in the Council's Strategy for 2050. Interested parties must submit their expressions of interest by 8th March 2021. The location for the delivery of the services will be within the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in urban planning, infrastructure consultancy, and development consultancy services to contribute to vital local government initiatives. Companies that possess expertise in urban environmental development planning and have experience working with councils and large-scale infrastructure projects will find this procurement particularly relevant. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as there is a suitability provision for them in this process.

## Notice

Milton Keynes Council is intending to commission a 'City Wide Infrastructure Study' as part of a comprehensive suite of background evidence studies that can inform and support future policy making. The Study will need to analyse and determine the infrastructure implications and requirements from the significant housing and employment growth anticipated in our Strategy for 2050, and delivered initially through our new Local Plan to 2040. The work will also need to consider and align with a range of other important influences such as the recent Planning White Paper, the emerging Spatial Framework for the Oxford-Cambridge Arc, cross-boundary infrastructure projects of sub-regional significance, and any other strategies and proposals which may come forward in adjoining authorities. As such the Council is seeking expressions of interest based on the information provided within the attached document. To express an interest please email mark.culley@milton-keynes.gov.uk providing your interest and responses to the questions contained within the attachment. This will be the first stage of the market engagement session to understand the markets views of the proposals outlined. All interest and responses should be submitted by March 8th 2021.
