The procurement is categorised under business and management consultancy services, located in Worcester, England. The tender was published on 1st August 2022, with an expression of interest deadline set for 26th August 2022. The contract period is expected to commence on 29th August 2022 and conclude on 30th November 2022, with a maximum budget of £40,000 allocated for this project. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in outdoor play provision and community engagement. Companies with a track record in conducting detailed consultations and developing strategic plans would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The project aims to gather valuable insights and data to inform future investments in outdoor play areas, providing a growth avenue for organisations that can effectively meet the Council's requirements. ## Notice The Council is seeking to engage specialist support to assist it in developing a Worcester City Strategic Play Area Development Plan. It is envisaged that this would take 2 parts, the first being the carrying out of a detailed consultation exercise around future outdoor play space provision across the city and secondly from that consultation, the development of a Strategic Play Area Development Plan. The Council will expect the consultant to take a holistic view and consider current delivery and good practice in this area. In addition it is expected that the consultant will undertake a detailed and meaningful consultation with different groups of individuals (including children and young people), community groups and with the Council's Elected Members, which will provide the Council with a rich dataset that could inform the next generation of investment into outdoor play provision in the city. The Council has set a maximum budget of PS40,000 for the Project. Please see separate documents attached for more Information.
