## Summary

Southend-on-Sea City Council, operating as the buying organisation, completed a public procurement process titled "Southend Green Belt Update 2025". This falls under the services industry category with a focus on environmental planning and consultancy services, specifically relating to green belt studies. The procurement took place in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, which is part of the UKH31 region. The process culminated in the award stage on 12th December 2025, with contracts starting on 4th November 2025, and ending on 1st April 2026. Operated under a limited procurement method due to its sub-threshold value, the tender aimed to update previous studies affected by revised planning policies. The contract, valued at £23,416.31, was awarded to LAND USE CONSULTANTS LIMITED.

This tender creates opportunities for businesses with expertise in environmental planning and consultancy to engage with local government developments and help shape future land use strategies. Ideal candidates for such tenders are businesses capable of providing insights into green belt assessments and adapting to new planning policy frameworks. SMEs experienced in environmental consultancy, especially those familiar with UK planning guidelines, would be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders by Southend-on-Sea City Council and other local authorities.

## Notice

Southend-on-Sea City Council is preparing a local plan for its area, to cover the period for the next 15 to 20 years. Southend-on-Sea City Council and Rochford District Council jointly commissioned Land Use Consultants to undertake a Green Belt study, which was completed in 2024. A further Southend only Green Belt Study update was completed in 2024. However, as this work predates the revised National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) published in December 2024 and updated national Planning Practice Guidance (PPG) published in February 2025, it is necessary to undertake a further assessment of Green Belt land in accordance with the revised policy framework and guidance, to inform the plan making process. Quotes are sought from suitably qualified consultants with recent experience of undertaking green belt studies.
