The study area comprises all of Rochford District and Southend Borough. The primary purpose of the Study is to provide an indication of the role, function and relative sustainability of each settlement in Rochford District and Southend-on-Sea Borough; to establish a provisional settlement hierarchy to inform the preparation of emerging development plan documents; and to provide an analysis of the potential future growth needs of each settlement with respect to their future role, function and relative sustainability. The Study will form a key component of the Councils' evidence base to underpin policies in their emerging local development plans for housing and economic development, including supporting the delivery of sustainable development through an appropriate spatial strategy. The outcomes of the Study will enable the Councils to plan proactively for the future of both areas and their residents by ensuring future housing and employment growth with supporting infrastructure, as taken forward in their emerging development plan documents, is sustainably located and respects and enhances the role, function and relative sustainability of settlements across both authority areas. Additional information: Evaluations will be completed by 13th December. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7b301a0c-b7c7-4ab0-a7b9-7bb95b44db87 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | Single tender action (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Feb 2020 | | Submission deadline | 29 Nov 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 10 Feb 2020 | | Contract period | 10 Feb 2020 - 30 Jun 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £70,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £70,000 | | 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 | SOUTHEND-ON-SEA BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | SOUTHEND-ON-SEA | | Post town | Southend-on-Sea | | Postcode | SS2 6EN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH3 Essex | | ITL 3 | TLH31 Southend-on-Sea | | Local authority | Southend-on-Sea | | Electoral ward | Victoria | | Westminster constituency | Southend East and Rochford | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | TROY PLANNING & DESIGN (TROY HAYES PLANNING | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90712100 - Urban environmental development planning ## Release History - 20 Feb 2020 at 15:41 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7b301a0c-b7c7-4ab0-a7b9-7bb95b44db87 - 4 Dec 2019 at 12:52 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3adc2d24-8b96-4500-a008-148b649cdc69 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7b301a0c-b7c7-4ab0-a7b9-7bb95b44db87 20th February 2020 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3adc2d24-8b96-4500-a008-148b649cdc69 4th December 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2851c5a4-a270-4bd4-b005-a00f5b845cb8 Enquiries and Submissions notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2776e6de-8ad7-404e-9fdd-ca868f02a017 Q&A - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/0b3b47d6-aa3a-46f5-ba5a-6ba18a61131b Enquiries and Submissions notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/1e3ad14d-9437-433c-9bdb-6598a0037e0a Q&A ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
