This project is classified under Urban planning services and has a total value of £25,000, with a minimum value of £22,500. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, with the tender period officially ending on 20 January 2022. The execution of the contract is set to commence on 1 April 2022 and to conclude by 30 September 2022, with the study presentation scheduled for August 2022. Interested parties can find additional details in the tender documents available via the council's e-tendering portal. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in urban planning services, particularly those with experience in conducting character studies and local planning assessments. Companies that can demonstrate a strong understanding of urban development, brownfield optimisation, and spatial relationship analyses would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging in this project not only allows businesses to contribute to the development of Hillingdon's local plan but also enhances their portfolio through public sector collaboration. ## Notice The London borough of Hillingdon (LBH) is seeking competitive tenders to appoint a suitable Contractor to carry out the 'Townscape Character Study update' project, commissioned by the Planning Policy Team. The Council is in the process of drafting a new local plan and would like to make updates and build on the Townscape Character study as part of their evidence base, taking into consideration the new London Plan (particularly Policy D1), which aims to define an area's character to understand its capacity for growth. Whilst some aspects of the urban fabric have changed since 2013, these changes are not deemed sufficient to warrant a full review of the Townscape Character Study and it is considered that the update (Volume 1) will consist of a series of edits and minor amendments. The borough wide area study is a useful way to identify areas requiring protection, enhancement or transformation, but these findings need to be further explored at a smaller scale to uncover local constraints. The update study (Volume 2) shall explore the potential for optimising brownfield land and tall buildings, review spatial relationships and assist land availability studies of specific areas. LBH are looking to appoint a Contractor to commence the project from March 2022 and deliver/present the study in August 2022. Full timetable and project briefing document available within tender documents. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4a036af8-64e1-4e6b-8e79-5211787b69a2 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Apr 2022 | | Submission deadline | 20 Jan 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 31 Mar 2022 | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2022 - 30 Sep 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £25,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £18,375 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LONDON BOROUGH OF HILLINGDON | | Locality | UXBRIDGE | | Post town | Southall | | Postcode | UB8 1UW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI7 Outer London - West and North West | | ITL 3 | TLI74 Harrow and Hillingdon | | Local authority | Hillingdon | | Electoral ward | Uxbridge | | Westminster constituency | Uxbridge and South Ruislip | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | URBAN INITIATIVES STUDIO | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71410000 - Urban planning services ## Release History - 22 Apr 2022 at 14:30 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4a036af8-64e1-4e6b-8e79-5211787b69a2 - 22 Apr 2022 at 14:29 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4a036af8-64e1-4e6b-8e79-5211787b69a2 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4a036af8-64e1-4e6b-8e79-5211787b69a2 22nd April 2022 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - http://www.capitalesourcing.com The tender documents can be located on the Council's e-tendering portal.
