In plain English
North Northamptonshire Council wants a consultant to test whether the policies in its new Local Plan can be afforded by developers. The work is a viability assessment, meaning a check on whether building homes and other development remains financially workable once the required infrastructure and other obligations are included. The report will be published as supporting evidence for the plan.
What the buyer wants
• Write a comprehensive report, the Whole Plan Viability Assessment, covering all policies in the new Local Plan • Include site-by-site viability assessments of the proposed policy obligations, including infrastructure needed for each site allocation • Provide a non-technical summary suitable for public publication, with the full report supplied in Microsoft Word and PDF, meeting the Council's accessibility standards and written in Plain English
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice sets no specific qualifications, experience, insurance or certification requirements, so the main barrier is the scope itself: a single study covering the whole Local Plan and every site allocation, produced to publication standard within a budget of £60,000.
Always check the tender documents.
