The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with submissions due by 20th July 2021. The total estimated contract value is £25,000, and the service primarily falls within the technical planning and urban planning sectors. The contract period is set to commence on 12th August 2021 and will run until 18th October 2021 in the East of England region. This tender presents significant opportunities for consultancies focused on sustainability, urban planning, and environmental consultancy, particularly those with experience in preparing Development Plan Documents (DPDs) and conducting detailed assessments for large-scale housing projects. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) should consider this as an accessible opportunity given that the procurement method is open, which encourages a wide range of bidders to participate. Companies capable of providing robust evidence and innovative strategies for sustainable development will be well-suited for this contract. ## Notice Tendring District Council and Colchester Borough Council (the Councils) are seeking to commission consultants to prepare an independent Sustainability Appraisal (SA) to guide the preparation of a Development Plan Document (DPD) for the Tendring Colchester Borders Garden Community (TCBGC). This will be a new garden community providing between 7000 to 9000 eco-friendly homes. The DPD for bringing forward the garden community is to be prepared by the Councils, informed by master-planning and other technical studies and evidence being undertaken by specialist consultants. The DPD will contain policies setting out how the new community will be designed and developed (expanding upon the requirements of Policy SP8, i-xiv and Policy SP9 in the adopted Section 1 Local Plan). The SA work will consider the full potential for mitigation and for maximising the economic, social and environmental opportunities for the Garden Community as well as the relative impacts of different policy and spatial layout options. The SA work will either draw upon existing baseline evidence to identify any gaps, which will allow for the preparation of additional studies where required, to support spatial strategy options. The SA will need to demonstrate a robust evidence base in considering and testing the reasonable alternatives, including the location of key infrastructure.

Please follow instructions in specification which includes details of how to ask any clarification questions along with questions and also quotations including how and where to return your quotation.
