## Summary

The South Cambridgeshire District Council has initiated a procurement process for the project titled "Greater Cambridge Local Plan: updated employment land, economic development and housing needs evidence". This project falls under the Technical planning services category and is located in the East of England, United Kingdom. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, with the tender published on 6 April 2022, and it reached its deadline for submission on 27 April 2022. The successful bidder will commence the contract on 16 May 2022, which will run until 15 May 2027.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in planning, economic development, and housing research. Companies that have experience with local government contracts, particularly those in the fields of urban planning, consultancy, and economic advisory services, would be well-positioned to compete effectively. The project's requirement for a comprehensive review and update of previously published evidence creates a demand for firms capable of adapting methodologies to meet evolving local needs, particularly in the context of post-pandemic development and planning processes.

## Notice

South Cambridgeshire District Council and Cambridge City Council are seeking company to review and update previously published employment land, economic development and housing needs evidence to inform future stages of preparing the Greater Cambridge Local Plan, being prepared jointly by the Councils. Preferred Options for the Local Plan (called the First Proposals) were published for public consultation in November 2021 with a supporting evidence base. The Councils consider that the employment land, economic development and housing needs evidence completed to date (referred to below) is robust. The work now required to support future stages of plan making goes beyond what was envisaged in the original contract, reflecting changing circumstances in both the plan making process, including additional plan making stages, and the context in which the plan is being prepared, including the COVID-19 pandemic. As such this new procurement exercise seeks to incorporate all requirements now anticipated through to adoption of the Greater Cambridge Local Plan, any further support needed to inform the latter stages of North East Cambridge Area Action Plan, and also to incorporate the potential for advice on related topics. The successful company will need to provide advice in a way that updates and builds upon work completed and published to date, as well as responding to consultation representations made at all stages of the plan making process regarding that work. The project specification includes a number of work strands: * Work-strand 1: Work to inform Greater Cambridge Local Plan Draft Plan (Regulation 18) consultation: o Review of Greater Cambridge Employment Land and Economic Development Evidence Study o Review of Housing & Employment Relationships Report o Economic development advice on issues relating to strategic allocations proposed in Local Plan * Work-strand 2: North East Cambridge advice * Work-strand 3: Work to inform future stages of plan-making * Work-strand 4: Provision of Expert advice to Development Plan Examinations If you wish to bid for this contract please visit our electronic portal at: https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=3982c3ca-8eb5-ec11-8113-005056b64545
