Description
The Town Council wishes to create, with the community, a Neighbourhood Development Plan for Abingdon. This will be launched at the Annual Parish Meeting on 10th March 2020.
The Council is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified consultant to manage all aspects of the process.
The first stage and the initial appointment is to work with the Council to launch the Plan to the community on 10th March 2020. It is envisaged that a Steering Committee will be appointed, and consultation will then take place and the scope of the Plan will be agreed. This will be known as the scoping stage.
Following this stage, the Council will then consider its resource requirements in relation to the completion of the Plan through to its adoption. Subject to the experience of the both the consultant and the Council at the scoping stage, a decision will be taken by the Council regarding appointment of a consultant to undertake this work, with a view to a two-year project.
Note the minimum contract sum (£3,000) is an estimate based only on the scoping stage.
Please e-mail nigel.warner@abingdon.gov.uk to register your interest.
