This open procurement process is classified under the services category, with a value of £80,000 and a minimum requirement of £75,000. The tender period closes on 4th January 2022, and the contract is slated to begin on 7th February 2022 and to be completed by 15th June 2022. This tender presents a significant opportunity for landscape architects and firms specialising in environmental design to engage in a high-profile project associated with a nationally important heritage site. Businesses with expertise in feasibility studies, landscape character assessments, and the design of accessible routes will be ideally placed to compete for this contract. Moreover, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate in this procurement process. ## Notice The Council is seeking a suitably qualified and experienced landscape architect to develop an access strategy and masterplan, through to detailed technical design of a greenway route between Rushden Lakes and Wellingborough Embankment, (approximately five (5) kilometre linear route). The route passes through protected wetlands and a scheduled monument, and the land is a mix of privately owned land with existing rights of way permissions. A detailed design study is required, which will inform the delivery of an accessible cycle/pedestrian route between Rushden Lakes and Wellingborough Embankment, facilitating access to Chester House and extending the North Northamptonshire Greenway in the Nene Valley. Chester House Estate is a nationally significant heritage site and Scheduled Ancient Monument (SAM). In the surrounding area lies a Special Protected Area (SPA), the River Nene and other built and natural features. The Access Strategy will include a landscape character assessment to analyse and describe potential impacts of visitors, topographic and sensitivity. This will inform a feasibility and design options report recommending solutions for leisure and commuter access. The Rushden to Wellingborough study will specifically take place between Rushden Lakes and Wellingborough via Chester House Estate. (Google Plus Codes: All Wellingborough: 8926+2W through to 78RC+XQ via 78RW+MF, Grid references: SP929677 to SP902668 via SP919668).
