## Summary

The West of England Combined Authority, in conjunction with South Gloucestershire Council, has awarded a contract for a feasibility study titled "Brabazon and West Innovation Arc - Feasibility Study" in the industry category of feasibility study, advisory service, analysis (CPV: 71241000). The project aims to explore opportunities for further transformational change in the West Innovation Arc, including the prospect of significantly increasing housing delivery beyond the planned 6,500 homes at Brabazon. This feasibility study seeks to determine the realistic and deliverable potential of the development. Located in the South West region of the United Kingdom, the procurement process was conducted using an open procedure below the threshold. The feasibility study is scheduled to run from 20 November 2024 to 14 March 2025, with the award published on 7 February 2025.

This tender creates substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in urban planning, feasibility analysis, and consultancy services to engage in a transformative project that could shape a new city district. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are especially well-suited for this opportunity due to the tender's suitability criteria. The awarded contract, valued at £60,467.40, was secured by LDA Design Consulting Ltd, a firm experienced in handling projects of this nature. Businesses looking to grow their portfolio in urban development and advisory services will find this project a promising venture for collaboration and expansion within the public sector.

## Notice

Together, the West of England Mayoral Combined Authority and South Gloucestershire Council wish to explore the opportunity to catalyse further transformational change in the West Innovation Arc. This includes unlocking a step change in housing delivery above the 6,500 homes currently planned for at the Brabazon development and harnessing opportunities to deliver growth across the wider Arc. At this increased scale, the development site and environs would take on the role and function of a new City District. We want to investigate whether this is realistic and deliverable in a way that ensures existing communities can benefit from this new role and function.
