Greenspace Development Framework

Planning and Regeneration services require timely access to competent external consultants which can provide the advice, insight and skills required to enable it to deliver place-based regeneration at pace and scale. The appointed consultant is required be required to undertake site investigations required on sites identified by NLC and to engage with community groups linked to each site or to identify potential active groups that may take on ownership and management of each identified sites. The appointed consultant will develop ideas and concepts with the community groups and with NLC's Growth Team. The appointed consultant will be expected to take concept designs and develop these to a detailed level to provide project costs and to allow for tender documentation to be developed to allow a procurement process to be undertaken. The consultant will be expected to manage the procurement and tender evaluation process and will appoint the successful contractor and manage throughout the contract process through to final completion whilst liasing with the Growth Team during all the relevant stages. To assist with the ongoing development of North Lanarkshire Council’s Greenspace the support and input for NLC’s Planning department will be invaluable in focussing for the future use of greenspace development. Specialist input and experience will assist in helping push development forward and making decisions on community projects and the development of North Lanarkshire Council’s green spaces.
