## Summary

The London Borough of Sutton has recently completed the procurement process for the commissioning of a Local Plan Viability Study. This project falls under the category of services within the architectural, construction, engineering, and research sectors. The procurement was conducted through an open competition, below threshold method. The awarded contract, with a gross value of £32,208, commenced on 15th September 2025 and will conclude on 31st August 2026. The aim of this procurement is to produce a comprehensive viability study to support revised planning policies for Sutton, with the awarded contract going to BNP Paribas Real Estate Advisory & Property Management UK Limited, based in London.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in consultancy services related to urban planning, viability assessments, and strategic policy analysis. Companies offering expertise in research and consultancy services, particularly those with a focus on sustainable development and public planning, will find this project advantageous for expanding their portfolios. Businesses with experience in handling sub-central government contracts and possessing a keen understanding of local authority needs would be well-positioned to compete for similar future projects. As the work involves critical assessments linked to key policy criteria such as affordable housing and biodiversity, this offers the chance for industry players to showcase innovation and expertise in addressing urban development challenges.

## Notice

The London Borough of Sutton is preparing a new Local Plan. The plan will feature revised planning policies and be supported by an objective and robust evidence base. A key part of the evidence base will be a whole-plan Viability Study, which will directly inform the Council's decisions on the effectiveness of draft strategic policies and site allocations across the borough. The Authority wishes to commission consultants to undertake a whole-plan Viability Study, which will comprise robust assessment of development viability across a range of development site typologies which are expected to come forward over the local plan period. Analysis is expected to include an appraisal of the impacts on viability from key policy criteria targets, for example: affordable housing percentages, biodiversity net gain, and net zero carbon.
