This open procurement process is at the tender stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 27th July 2020. The contract, valued at £50,000, is to be performed in Yeovil, England, and is classified under architectural, engineering, and planning services, particularly focusing on transport systems and urban planning consultancy. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the consulting sector, particularly those specialising in transport systems and urban planning. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to apply, as the council is keen to engage with diverse suppliers. Successful bidders will play a crucial role in preparing evidence that will inform local planning decisions and should leverage their expertise in transportation modelling and planning practices. ## Notice South Somerset District Council (SSDC) is seeking to commission consultants to produce an all-mode transport evidence base in support of the Council's emerging Local Plan Review. Consultation on the Preferred Options (Regulation 18) took place between June and September 2019. The consultation document and representations received are available to view at https://southsomerset.inconsult.uk/consult.ti/PreferredOptionsConsultation/consultationHome The Local Plan Review is being carried out with progress to the Publication stage (Regulation 19) expected in mid-2021, with submission of the Plan to the Secretary of State later that year. In order to prepare the next iteration of the Local Plan Review, the evidence to support it must be completed by the end of 2020 at the latest. The modelling evidence base will need to indicate both the current traffic situation as well as that at the end of the plan period taking into account the economic and housing growth aspirations set out within the plan, including those necessary to support preferred site allocations. National policy and Planning Practice Guidance specifically requires an assessment of transport implications to be undertaken in the preparation of a Local Plan. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5d5abbfc-8327-4051-8072-a51666c6442a | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Jun 2020 | | Submission deadline | 27 Jul 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Aug 2020 - 1 Jan 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £50,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SOUTH SOMERSET DISTRICT COUNCIL | | Locality | YEOVIL | | Post town | Bath | | Postcode | BA20 2HT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK6 North Somerset, Somerset and Dorset | | ITL 3 | TLK62 Somerset | | Local authority | Somerset | | Electoral ward | Yeovil South | | Westminster constituency | Yeovil | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71240000 - Architectural, engineering and planning services - 71311200 - Transport systems consultancy services - 71311210 - Highways consultancy services - 71410000 - Urban planning services ## Release History - 23 Jun 2020 at 14:08 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5d5abbfc-8327-4051-8072-a51666c6442a - 23 Jun 2020 at 14:05 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e53a557a-5c7f-4409-a377-6e1239f0ec39 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5d5abbfc-8327-4051-8072-a51666c6442a 23rd June 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e53a557a-5c7f-4409-a377-6e1239f0ec39 23rd June 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.southsomerset.gov.uk/ - https://southsomerset.inconsult.uk/consult.ti/PreferredOptionsConsultation/consultationHome ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
