## Summary

Shropshire Council is seeking consultancy services for the preparation of an Illustrative Masterplan for the Shrewsbury Big Town Plan. This procurement, classified under building consultancy services, is currently in the tender stage and was published on 14th December 2017. The tender period will close on 16th January 2018, with the contract expected to commence on 12th March 2018 and conclude by 2nd April 2018. Businesses can expect a minimum contract value of £40,000 and a total value of £45,000, with opportunities focused within the West Midlands region of England.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for consultancies specialising in urban design, masterplanning, and regeneration. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are encouraged to participate, as their expertise can significantly contribute to the visual and functional development of Shrewsbury. Businesses adept in collaborative strategies and community engagement will find this contract especially suited to their strengths, providing a platform to demonstrate their capabilities in enhancing urban environments.

## Notice

A partnership of Shropshire Council, Shrewsbury Business Improvement District and Shrewsbury Town Council wishes to appoint an appropriately skilled and experienced consultant to collaborate with the Big Town Plan Team to prepare an illustrative masterplan and urban design strategy for the Shrewsbury Big Town Plan. We require a mix of disciplines including spatial zoning, masterplanning, urban design and regeneration. The masterplan should build on the work of the Big Town Plan to date, identifying key character areas within the town, defining the characteristics, parameters and design principles for each. The masterplan should provide a holistic urban design strategy, exploring the connections and potential movement between parts, and access to the town from the wider Shrewsbury area - and establish some key principle opportunities for the town's future. The commission should focus on those areas of opportunity and maximising existing assets in the town but also identify key projects which could unlock the development potential of Shrewsbury.
