In plain English

Chelmsford City Council wants a consultant to find privately owned land within the city that could be built on for new homes. The consultant would also help secure that land so it can be developed later. The contract is worth around £200,000.

What the buyer wants

• Identify privately owned sites in the Chelmsford area that are suitable for residential development • Engage with landowners to understand whether they are willing to make their land available for future housing • Demonstrate how each identified site could realistically be secured for future housing delivery

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

A firm without a clear track record of identifying land for housing and negotiating with private landowners, or without the professional indemnity insurance the council requires, would most likely be ruled out.
