## Summary

The procurement process for the "Growth Services Consultancy" project is led by Bath & North East Somerset Council, a sub-central government public authority. The process involves a direct procurement method below the threshold without competition, indicating its straightforward nature. The contract, valued at £25,000 excluding VAT, will span from 9th March 2026 to 31st March 2027, targeting the consultancy services sector situated primarily in the UKK12 region. This project is critical for the Council's ambitious corporate strategy to double housing and employment spaces over the next decade, responding to a demand for affordable housing and sustainable community development.

This consultancy tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses in the field of business and management consultancy, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in strategic growth services. It provides a platform for these businesses to contribute to significant housing and infrastructure projects, potentially establishing long-term collaborations with the local government. The tender is well-suited for consultancies with expertise in scaling service models and facilitating efficient growth in housing delivery, aligning with the Council's vision for comprehensive community development.

## Notice

BANES has an ambitious corporate strategy, an economic strategy highlighting the priority given to affordable housing growth and a new Housing Plan that sets out the Council's actions to deliver against that. The new Local Plan doubles housing numbers and the associated economic (employment space) across the district to 28k from 14k. This level of change is unprecedented and will put significant pressure on existing service delivery models. We are ambitious to deliver sustainable growth building strong communities through high quality development that is well planned, provides the affordable homes we need, essential infrastructure and promotes healthy and active lifestyles. Historically left to the market and volume housebuilders, we have typically received fragmented, poor-quality development, limited infrastructure investment and failed to deliver the affordable homes needed. B&NES has a significant existing capital programme to deliver over the next 5-10 years and has established two centralised services, Corporate Landlord (developer) and capital delivery service to achieve this. Some of the housing planned will need to be delivered by the Council through these service models, but much will need to be delivered by the market, developers and/or partnerships. There is a desire to retain as much influence as possible over the development that happens in the district to achieve good outcomes for communities. We need to plan our service model to meet the expected growth and demand to deliver more homes faster but with more certainty and control over the outcomes. Through examples and evidence assess and present options to establish a Growth Service model that can scale to address the expected increase in activity. The estimated value of the contract is PS25,000 (excl. VAT)
