This initiative is classified under project-management services, with a total estimated value of £600,000. The tender process is in the active stage and will remain open until 3rd August 2017. The project is strategically located in the South West region of the United Kingdom, specifically in Cullompton, and it aims to support the development of a garden village for up to 5,000 dwellings as part of a wider initiative by the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG). The resulting contract is anticipated to commence on 23rd September 2017 and will extend for a year until 23rd September 2018. This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in project management consultancy, particularly those with experience in community development and infrastructure projects. Firms that can demonstrate expertise in managing large-scale housing developments and familiarity with local government processes are well-positioned to compete for this contract. Additionally, companies that can bring innovative solutions for infrastructure improvements and community engagement are likely to enhance their competitiveness in this procurement process, which is aligned with the growing trend of sustainable and community-led development initiatives. ## Notice Mid Devon District Council wishes to procure consultancy work in relation to the Culm Garden village. This opportunity specifically relates to the procurement of consultancy support for the management of this project. In March 2016 the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) published a prospectus titled 'Locally-led Garden villages, Towns and Cities' which aimed to deliver accelerated housing supply through the support of high quality locally-led schemes that will realise a new generation of garden villages, towns and cities. Mid Devon District Council submitted an expression of interest for a 'Culm' garden village for up to 5,000 dwellings on land to the east of Cullompton. The submission Local Plan Review identifies land to the east of Cullompton as a suitable location for strategic growth and includes a draft policy for the allocation of mixed use development including 1,750 dwellings with at least a further 800 post 2033. In addition a neighbourhood planning exercise for Cullompton is well underway and is expected to set out aspirations for community infrastructure /facilities on further land to the east of Cullompton. The prospectus represented an opportunity to apply for Government support to help deliver the Council's and local community's aspirations for land to the east of Cullompton, which is considered to bolster resources for the project, reduce risk and could result in infrastructure investment through the Government's capital road and rail programmes and Housing Infrastructure Fund. Improved road and infrastructure at junction 28 of the M5 has already been identified as being required and the Local Plan, both adopted and proposed aspire to see the reopening of a Cullompton railway station. The garden village therefore represents an opportunity to raise the profile of the proposals and gain Government assistance in its delivery. The Government confirmed via a ministerial announcement on 2 January 2017, the success of Mid Devon's expression of interest for a garden village, one of 14 to be announced nationally. The expression of interest was supported by Cullompton Town Council, Cullompton Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group and the Heart of the South West Local Enterprise Partnership. Since the announcement of garden village status, work has started to identify and scope out priority work streams and tasks, critical path and milestones for project progress. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/312cc91f-ffea-420a-bfc2-8204542324d3 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Jul 2017 | | Submission deadline | 3 Aug 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 22 Sep 2017 - 23 Sep 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £600,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MID DEVON DISTRICT COUNCIL | | Locality | TIVERTON | | Post town | Exeter | | Postcode | EX16 6PP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK4 Devon | | ITL 3 | TLK43 Devon CC | | Local authority | Mid Devon | | Electoral ward | Tiverton Castle | | Westminster constituency | Tiverton and Minehead | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79421000 - Project-management services other than for construction work ## Release History - 3 Jul 2017 at 20:55 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/312cc91f-ffea-420a-bfc2-8204542324d3 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/312cc91f-ffea-420a-bfc2-8204542324d3 3rd July 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=c616b5c3-2e60-e711-80e3-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.middevon.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
