The tender, titled "Consultation for Additional & Selective Licensing," falls under the "Business development consultancy services" category and will focus on delivering public consultation activities. This project is currently in the planning stage, with a key milestone of pre-market engagement scheduled to end on 21st October 2025. The selected service provider will manage and execute the consultation process in Wolverhampton, with a proposed contract period from 5th December 2025 to 4th December 2026. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in business development consultancy services, particularly those experienced in managing public consultations. Companies with expertise in designing inclusive engagement strategies, facilitating public meetings, and analysing feedback would be well-suited for this contract. The consultation aims to engage a broad spectrum of stakeholders, providing an ideal platform for consultancy firms to showcase their skills in community engagement, strategic planning, and decision-making support. Such projects can help businesses expand their portfolio within the public sector and enhance their reputation for delivering impactful community-focused services. ## Notice The City of Wolverhampton Council is exploring the introduction of an Additional Licensing Scheme for smaller Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) and a Selective Licensing Scheme for privately rented properties in designated areas. These schemes are part of the Council's strategic approach to improving housing standards, tenant safety, and landlord accountability across the city's growing private rented sector (PRS). To ensure transparency, inclusivity, and legal compliance, the Council is committed to undertaking a comprehensive public consultation before any licensing scheme is introduced. This consultation must engage a wide range of stakeholders-including landlords, letting agents, tenants, residents, and community organisations-and gather meaningful feedback on the proposed scheme's scope, impact, and implementation. The Council is therefore seeking to appoint an experienced external provider to design, manage, and deliver the public consultation process. The appointed organisation will be expected to: * Develop a robust consultation strategy aligned with statutory requirements. * Facilitate engagement through a range of accessible channels (e.g. online surveys, public meetings, stakeholder interviews). * Analyse and report on consultation findings to inform decision-making. * Ensure that the process is inclusive, impartial, and representative of Wolverhampton's diverse communities. ### Planning Information Pre market engagement published via the ProActis Portal, this can be found on the following link: www.wolverhamptontenders.com.
