## Summary

The public procurement process initiated by North Warwickshire Borough Council, under the title "NWB - Viability Assessment of the North Warwickshire Local Plan," is currently in the tender stage. This study, categorized under research consultancy services, aims to evaluate the deliverability of proposed policies in the Local Plan Review. The project is set to occur in Atherstone, UK, with the submission deadline set for 24th June 2026 and enquiry period ending on 17th June 2026. With an estimated contract value of £40,000, the procurement method employed is open competition for services, executed below the threshold amount. The contract is expected to commence on 8th July 2026 and could extend until 1st September 2027, with a possibility of further extension for additional stages.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities, particularly for businesses specializing in research consultancy services, with expertise in policy assessment and urban planning. The high-quality weighting criterion (60%) suggests that firms with a strong track record of delivering comprehensive assessment services will be at an advantage. Additionally, businesses that can offer competitive pricing (40% weighting) alongside quality services will find this tender an appealing prospect. Given its potential extension, this project could provide longer-term engagement opportunities for suitable consultancies willing to assist in subsequent stages of the Local Plan process.

## Notice

This study aims to ensure that the cumulative costs of the proposed policies, the site requirements, and any necessary infrastructure does not undermine the overall deliverability of the new Local Plan Review.
