    "description": "e-ITT for the provision of an Economic Needs Assessment on behalf of the New Forest District Council\r\n\r\nClosing Date for Submission of Tenders\r\n12.00 NOON, 28th FEBRUARY 2025\r\nto be returned electronically via the Council\u0027s e-tendering solution \"Pro-Contract\" hosted on the South East Business Portal (SEBP)\r\n\r\nNew Forest District Council and the New Forest National Park Authority (\u0027the Authorities\u0027) wish to appoint a suitably qualified consultant, or consultant team with appropriate experience and expertise, to undertake an Economic Needs Assessment for these plan areas. The work being commissioned will form an integral part of the evidence base to be used to inform the economy and employment policies and proposals as part of the Authorities\u0027 respective Local Plan reviews.\r\nThe focus of the consultants\u0027 task will be to make evidence-based recommendations on the likely future need for employment land and premises to inform the Authorities\u0027 respective local plans, potential site allocations, and planning policies that support the local economy. This will include collating, where necessary compiling and synthesising different sources and types of information, and applying commercial judgement and local market intelligence. Canvassing the views of local commercial agents will be important in undertaking the assessment.\r\nIt is expected that the analysis will examine labour demand, labour supply and property market trends and requirements. It is important that the study meets the evidential requirements of the latest National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF, December 2024) and Planning Practice Guidance (PPG), to ensure that employment needs are objectively assessed so they can be planned for in an appropriate way. It is also important that the study is proportionate in methodology and cost, and makes effective use of existing information.\r\n\r\nAll correspondence is via the Councils e-tendering portal ProContract hosted on the South East Business Portal (SEBP).",
