Description

Castle Point Borough Council (CPBC) wish to appoint consultants to undertake a visioning study and report for the future of Hadleigh in Essex. The report must be, based upon the research completed, of what an Hadleigh town centre could look like in 2040 and detail recommendations of how this might be achieved once the proposed action plan has been completed.

An area wider than the town centre area should be considered as part of the project, to ensure that the relationship between the town centre and local places of interest and recreation, such as Hadleigh Castle (maintained by English Heritage), the Salvation Army's Hadleigh Rare Breeds Farm, Glamping Site, and Country Park with the London 2012 Olympic cycling track are included and proposals to support and maximise the opportunities arising from these facilities are integrated successfully in the study.

The report will help enable the Council to plan its policies, future land uses and interventions to ensure the town centre has a long-term sustainable future as the borough's principal town centre on the mainland. Research undertaken should include engagement with residents, businesses, stakeholders and visitors.

The project has an allocation of £41,200 from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund for the work and the appointment will be by way of a competitive process requiring written quotations.

The deadline for clarification questions is 21st June 2021, one week before the final submission deadline of 2.00pm on Friday 28 June 2024 and include reference CPBC PP REG 24/-1.

Tenderers must submit their quotations to CPBC MUST be made in either pdf format or in a format which is compatible with Office 365 and documents submitted electronically via email to business@castlepoint.gov.uk by: 2pm on Friday 28th June 2024.

The Contract for the work will commence on Tuesday 6th August 2024 and must be completed in its entirety by no later than Tuesday 14th January 2025.
