This project falls under the category of services, specifically research and development services and economic research services. The procurement process currently stands at the 'tender' stage with an open competition method defined as below the threshold. The key submission deadline for the tender is 19th August 2025, with the enquiry period closing on the 12th August 2025. The project aims to assess the housing and economic needs on the islands, aligning with current national guidance and recognising local housing emergencies, with a budget value of £25,000 to £30,000. This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in economic and housing consultancy to expand their footprint in public sector contracts. Targeting businesses that can offer a strategic and methodical approach, the Council seeks consultants with proven expertise in related issues and local plan examination. The contract, set to begin on 1st September 2025 and conclude by 30th November 2025, with potential amendments extending to 19th December, allows for substantial visibility and influence within the sub-central government framework, creating robust growth opportunities for winning bidders. The inclusion of comprehensive evaluation criteria focusing on experience, engagement approach, methodology, quality assurance, and value for money ensures that businesses delivering high-quality proposals with innovative approaches to council needs are well-placed to succeed. ## Notice As part of the Local Plan review process, the Council of the Isles of Scilly wishes to commission a Housing and Economic Needs Assessment (HENA) to understand the current position of the housing needs of the islands. Given the various changes of emphasis from national guidance, and the recognition of a housing emergency (as highlighted at the 18 January 2022 Full Council ) on the islands, a HENA needs to be: * Aware and responsive to the circumstances and issues of the islands, * Be compliant with current NPPF/NPPG guidance (and be aware of the impact of any potential changes arising from any changes to these following MHCLG -response to its recent planning reform consultation). ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: Failure of consultant to complete work to target deadline ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/043766-2025 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Below threshold - open competition | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Jul 2025 | | Submission deadline | 19 Aug 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Aug 2025 - 30 Nov 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £25,000 | | Lots value | £25,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | COUNCIL OF THE ISLES OF SCILLY | | Locality | HUGH TOWN | | Post town | Truro | | Postcode | TR21 0LW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK3 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | ITL 3 | TLK30 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | Local authority | Isles of Scilly | | Electoral ward | St Mary's | | Westminster constituency | St Ives | | Delivery location | TLK30 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79311400 - Economic research services ## Release History - 29 Jul 2025 at 10:01 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/043766-2025 - 23 Jul 2025 at 09:59 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/042290-2025 - 22 Jul 2025 at 09:16 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/041864-2025 - 21 Jul 2025 at 12:47 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/041651-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/043766-2025 29th July 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/042290-2025 23rd July 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/041864-2025 22nd July 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/041651-2025 21st July 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-3265 HENA specification - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-3292 - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-3397 - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-3398 ## Notice URLs - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents - https://www.scilly.gov.uk/business-licensing/contracts/current-contract-opportunities ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
