East Hertfordshire District Council is seeking provision of NEC growth Study. Meeting future growth presents such challenges and implications, and is now at such a significant scale that individual authorities can no longer work in isolation.

The Growth Study will initially be a two part study with the first section focussed on a robust baseline data assessment; the second section will produce, and then test a series of strategic spatial options to explore the potential for increasing the supply of housing and employment across NEC Herts, as well as identifying the benefits and, impacts, risks, infrastructure requirements and policy implications that could arise from pursuing these options.The Council proposes to enter into one contract with the successful Tenderer for a maximum period of 14 months for stage 1 and 2 . The contract award will initially be to undertake Stages 1 and 2 of the Growth Study project. There is a possibility for the Council to extend the contract with the successful Tenderer to cover the works in stage 3 of the growth study at the councils sole discretion. The anticipated total value of the growth study is approximately PS200,000 for stage 1 and 2.
