## Summary

Medway Council is currently seeking tenders for a Waste Needs Assessment Service to support the development of a new Local Plan aimed at sustainable growth in Medway, England. The procurement process is at the tender stage, and the open procedure allows for broad participation. The tender was published on 7th October 2019 and will close on 25th October 2019. The contract is slated to commence on 4th November 2019 and will run until 28th February 2020, with a budget of £20,000. This initiative falls under the environmental services category and seeks to ensure compliance with national planning policies.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses engaged in environmental services, waste management, and planning consultancy, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs). Competing for this contract could enable service providers to cater to the growing needs for sustainable waste management practices in Medway, aligning their offerings with local government initiatives that focus on environmental sustainability and infrastructure development.

## Notice

Medway Council is preparing a new Local Plan to provide direction on the future growth of the area. The aim is to ensure that Medway grows sustainably, to provide land for housing, employment, infrastructure and services, whilst protecting the area's environment and heritage. The new Local Plan will cover the period up to 2037, providing for the number of homes and jobs and supporting infrastructure that the area will need. The new Local Plan must include strategic policies to manage the development and use of land in Medway. The preparation of planning policies for waste will need to be based on a robust evidence base. The Local Plan relating to waste should identify sufficient opportunities to meet the identified needs of an area for the management of waste, aiming to drive waste management up the Waste Hierarchy. A Waste Needs Assessment is required as a key part of the new Local Plan's evidence base. This would help to ensure that the draft Local Plan is legally compliant and in line with national planning policy.
