Description

The Councils are seeking suitably qualified consultants to: by July 2026 (with an interim output required in March 2026), prepare three separate (but inter-related) studies for the Greater Cambridge combined area, as follows: An Allotment & Alternative Food-Growing Spaces Study; A Burial Grounds Study; and A Community Infrastructure Study. Support the councils during the plan making process on any issues related to matters relating to the study's topic area, including at examination. (Given the uncertainties relating to timing and nature of this element of the work, we are initially seeking a quotation for day rates, with the precise scope and timeframes confirmed should the Councils seek to extend the contract beyond Summer 2026).
