## Summary

South Cambridgeshire District Council has announced a tender process for consultative services related to designing housing developments, focusing on small sites likely hosting 10 units or less for Affordable Rent. This tender, classified under the 'Architectural design services' category, is part of the services procurement and follows an open procedure. The project is based in Cambourne, UK (region UKH12), and is in the Tender stage as of 21st October 2025.
