This open tender was initiated to engage consultants for a comprehensive review encompassing both the Inner Cambridge Green Belt Study and the broader Green Belt area around Greater Cambridge. Notable key dates include the tender's publication on 12th February 2020, with a submission deadline of 11th March 2020. The contract period commenced on 1st April 2020 and will extend until 31st March 2024, primarily located in the East of England. This procurement presents significant opportunities for growth, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in urban planning and environmental consulting. Businesses that can demonstrate their expertise in Green Belt assessments and urban development planning will find this tender particularly advantageous. The councils are also exploring synergies between this review and a Landscape Character Assessment, suggesting that firms capable of integrating insights from both studies may have an edge in this competitive environment. ## Notice Cambridge City Council (CCC) and South Cambridgeshire District Council (SCDC) are seeking consultants to provide a Green Belt Review for the Greater Cambridge area (defined as the combined area of Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire Districts). Detailed proposals are now invited from consultants comprising two parts: a) Consideration of the extent to which the Inner Cambridge Green Belt Study 2015, prepared by LDA and found sound in the context of the adopted 2018 Local Plans, including the identified purposes of the Cambridge Green Belt, forms an appropriate up to date evidence base for the Greater Cambridge Local Plan, and to provide any update necessary to achieve this; b) A comprehensive review of the remainder of the Cambridge Green Belt, including to provide sufficient evidence to inform the Housing and Employment Housing Land Availability Assessment. This work will form part of the Councils' development plan making process in relation to Green Belt and associated purposes. The contractor must demonstrate in writing that they have no conflicts of interest in respect of work being sought that cannot be effectively mitigated. It should be noted that as well as inviting tenders for a Green Belt Review, the Councils are also procuring a Landscape Character Assessment. It is expected that the identification of the characteristics of the varying areas of landscape within the whole of the Cambridge Green Belt will draw, as appropriate, on the findings of the separate Landscape Character Assessment work (see paragraph 38e). Bidders are asked to consider and explain how the two studies might best be carried out in tandem and identify any benefits of being undertaken by the same consultant. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4d91fc74-e412-42ee-a6a9-158d712a72f2 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 May 2020 | | Submission deadline | 11 Mar 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 5 May 2020 | | Contract period | 10 May 2020 - 10 May 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £89,870 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SOUTH CAMBRIDGESHIRE DISTRICT COUNCIL | | Locality | CAMBOURNE | | Post town | Cambridge | | Postcode | CB23 6EA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH42 Cambridgeshire CC | | Local authority | South Cambridgeshire | | Electoral ward | Cambourne | | Westminster constituency | St Neots and Mid Cambridgeshire | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | LAND USE CONSULTANTS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 71410000 - Urban planning services - 90712100 - Urban environmental development planning ## Release History - 6 May 2020 at 13:37 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4d91fc74-e412-42ee-a6a9-158d712a72f2 - 12 Feb 2020 at 09:52 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/57920d9c-ab2d-462b-94f3-cf2da9c25ab3 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4d91fc74-e412-42ee-a6a9-158d712a72f2 5th May 2020 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/57920d9c-ab2d-462b-94f3-cf2da9c25ab3 12th February 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=6dbd8cef-e44c-ea11-80ff-005056b64545 Advert ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
