This open tender, classified under architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services, seeks to appoint a consultant to assess the economic profile and employment growth needs of the region. The tender period concludes on 10th May 2021, with the contract set to commence on 18th May 2021 and extend through to 31st December 2024. Interested parties should be prepared to submit detailed proposals that highlight their expertise in economic needs assessment. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialised in economic research and development planning, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies that can demonstrate a robust understanding of economic assessments and have previous experience in similar projects would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. Furthermore, as the work relates to the preparation of a comprehensive Local Plan for the next 15 years, it is an excellent chance for firms to engage in long-term strategic planning and development initiatives within Uttlesford. ## Notice Uttlesford District Council is seeking to appoint a consultant(s) to undertake work to identify the economic profile of Uttlesford, future employment growth needs and how those needs should be met. The Council is at the project initiation stage of preparing a new Local Plan, following the withdrawal of its 2019 Submission Local Plan from Examination. The new Local Plan will be a comprehensive Development Plan Document (DPD), containing both strategic and non-strategic policies for development over at least the next 15 years. This work forms part of the Councils' plan making process. We are seeking to work with a contractor or group of contractors who can demonstrate a high level of knowledge and practical experience of economic needs assessment and employment land review related to development plan making. The contractor must demonstrate in writing that they have no conflicts of interest. Detailed proposals are now invited from consultants. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6d6dfb46-4edc-4712-b530-fad18a66c38d | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 May 2021 | | Submission deadline | 10 May 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 16 May 2021 | | Contract period | 19 May 2021 - 31 Dec 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £39,806 | | 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 | ESSEX COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | SAFFRON WALDEN | | Post town | Cambridge | | Postcode | CB11 4ER | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH3 Essex | | ITL 3 | TLH35 West Essex | | Local authority | Uttlesford | | Electoral ward | Saffron Walden Audley | | Westminster constituency | North West Essex | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | ICENI PROJECTS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 71000000 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 79311400 - Economic research services ## Release History - 18 May 2021 at 15:49 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6d6dfb46-4edc-4712-b530-fad18a66c38d - 7 May 2021 at 14:03 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/03f75136-ae14-4c40-b820-e8078b20fb9f - 7 May 2021 at 11:35 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/03f75136-ae14-4c40-b820-e8078b20fb9f - 6 May 2021 at 09:49 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/03f75136-ae14-4c40-b820-e8078b20fb9f - 21 Apr 2021 at 11:35 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/03f75136-ae14-4c40-b820-e8078b20fb9f - 21 Apr 2021 at 10:34 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/03f75136-ae14-4c40-b820-e8078b20fb9f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6d6dfb46-4edc-4712-b530-fad18a66c38d 18th May 2021 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/03f75136-ae14-4c40-b820-e8078b20fb9f 7th May 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7ff93f2c-254a-4b06-bff4-1526e6c8fd23 RFQ Specification and Quality Questions - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e2b44753-8b6c-49cf-99f1-3c7e32a64c1e RFQ Pricing Matrix - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/1f56572d-f3df-41b5-a8b3-0797b4cf6eae RFQ Terms and Conditions - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/25f6de2f-72bb-414d-b92d-4ae159580107 RFQ Bidders Guidance - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e95d8d12-3d06-4bdc-b7bb-2df94542bdee RFQ Specification and Quality Questions - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/abd3e357-cf5b-4c3c-b41b-5338a7e3b3ba RFQ Clarifications Register - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/91c2bf51-ec17-4b7a-8f72-d3ba1a82e2c4 Employment Needs and Economic Development Evidence Specification 07.05.2021 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/6e3fb9a3-8d13-40f5-a210-2fa3a3c1b09c Clarifications Register - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/6daee38d-910c-419f-b92b-ae38f86af754 Employment Needs & Economic Development Evidence Specification 07.05.2 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/44b16808-63c2-4176-8d3f-b78a68fce110 Clarifications Register ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
