Place Making Consultancy Services Framework

Scottish Borders Council would like to engage with consultancy services suppliers to gather feedback on a proposed Framework Agreement for the provision of Place Making Consultancy Services. Currently we anticipate that the Framework will be split into two lots, as described below. However, we would welcome all market engagement to help develop the terms of the Framework prior to a tender being released. Lot 1 – Local Place Plan Consultant for community consultation services to enable the facilitation and creation of Local Place Plans. Lot 2 – Town Investment Plan Consultant for the facilitation and creation of Town Investment Plans to support the Place Plans. The Town Investment Plans will inform economic strategy to drive investment into community proposed projects and initiatives. Consultants will be invited to submit tenders for either or both Lots. A consortium approach would be acceptable to ensure the full range of required skills and expertise is available. A selection of suppliers will be awarded to each lot within the framework based on the results of the tender. Scottish Borders Council is conducting this future tendering opportunity on behalf of several local authorities in Scotland.
