A key priority of this Fund has been targeted to intervention E3: Creation of and improvements to local greenspaces, community gardens, watercourses, embankments, along with incorporating natural features into wider public spaces. This is recognised as being a key contributor to pride in place. North Northamptonshire Council has allocated PS1,520,000 towards delivering activities in support of intervention E3 with funding to be spent by 31 March 2025. This is the largest allocation to any single intervention in the Councils' UK Shared Prosperity Fund programme. The purpose for the investment is to improve the urban greenspace offer and access to the environment and increase use, and enjoyment of Urban Greenspaces in North Northamptonshire. In support of this intervention, North Northamptonshire Council is now inviting quotations for the provision of: * An Urban Greenspace Audit * An Urban Greenspace Strategy * The identification and assessment of Capital Schemes and their benefits * The development of a prioritised Urban Greenspace Programme of works The Council's detailed requirements are defined in the Specification. The investment is focussed on the larger urban areas of North Northamptonshire that are ineligible for the Rural England Prosperity Fund - the towns of Corby, Desborough, Kettering, Wellingborough and Rushden/Higham Ferrers. A focus of the programme is supporting the areas identified as Left Behind Communities. These are Kingswood in Corby; Avondale Grange in Kettering; and Queensway in Wellingborough. Although there is a particular focus towards investing in these areas, this does not mean that funding should be directed exclusively to them. A balanced approach should be found ensuring that communities in all six towns benefit through the investment. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0e9d3505-0d92-4a07-bd91-f72d931a6ae9 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Oct 2023 | | Submission deadline | 27 Oct 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 17 Nov 2023 - 30 Apr 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £80,000 | | 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 | NORTH NORTHAMPTONSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | CORBY | | Post town | Northampton | | Postcode | NN16 8TL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF25 North Northamptonshire | | Local authority | North Northamptonshire | | Electoral ward | Northall | | Westminster constituency | Kettering | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services - 77 - Agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services ### Codes - 71200000 - Architectural and related services - 71400000 - Urban planning and landscape architectural services - 75200000 - Provision of services to the community - 77300000 - Horticultural services ## Release History - 3 Oct 2023 at 14:42 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0e9d3505-0d92-4a07-bd91-f72d931a6ae9 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0e9d3505-0d92-4a07-bd91-f72d931a6ae9 3rd October 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/8c279140-432a-4209-9729-6a2b65ba2e6a The Request for Quotation sets out the Specification and template for the submission of a bid ## Notice URLs - http://www.northnorthants.gov.uk/communities-assets-and-grants/shared-prosperity-fund ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
