Description

The Saltash Town Team is seeking the services of qualified and experienced landscape design/public realm consultancy to determine the optimal location(s) and feasibility of developing a green multi-use community space in the retail heart of the town centre.

Tenders are sought from companies with expertise and an excellent track record in designing public realm schemes in other towns, undertaking meaningful community consultation processes, providing creative and innovative solutions with clear costs and project timetables and where the final scheme has led to positive environmental, social and economic impacts.

It is expected that the consultants will carry out an assessment of possible sites, interrogate data on a range of factors including location, size, land ownership, accessibility, viability and synergy with the town's retail centre taking the project to RIBA stage 2 with conceptual designs and a feasibility study being the outcome to this project. Community consultation is an imperative part of the work.

This work will be overseen by the Saltash Town Team who provide the coordination of development activity within Saltash with the remit of helping to improve the economic, social and environmental revitalisation of the town - making Saltash a better place to live, work, visit and enjoy.

The accountable body for the project will be Saltash Town Council who are active members of the Town Team through Councillor and officer representation. A sub-group will steer this project led by the Chairman.

The commissioning of this work presents an exciting and high-profile opportunity for the appointed company to be involved in a game changing project in Saltash which is not only bespoke to the needs of the town's community, providing a much needed amenity but also builds on the town's profile as the gateway to Cornwall. It is also intended that the project echoes the rich heritage of Saltash.

This work has been funded through a successful Vitality Funding award from Cornwall Council's Town Centre Revitalisation Fund enabling Saltash to advance this project with the aim of improving the economic, social and environmental revitalisation of the town.

Interested applicants need to download the full 'Invitation to Tender' document and associated appendices including the quotation form which will be required when making a tender submission. Submissions are required by hard copy and email as per the submission details outlined in the 'Invitation to Tender' document.

Interest has to be registered by Thursday 1st December 2022 at 17.00 to [email protected] in order to receive a tender envelope to be used in the final submission (closing date 15th December  2022 at 12.00).

Sustainable Land Management Evaluation

The Agriculture (Wales) Act 2023 established Sustainable Land Management (SLM) as the central purpose for agricultural support and regulation in Wales. The Sustainable Farming Scheme (SFS) will be the primary mechanism for delivering support under the Act. Evaluation of SLM is a statutory duty within the Act. The Welsh Government therefore seeks to contract research services to deliver a Preparatory Report and Interim Process Evaluation for Sustainable Land Management (SLM) and associated schemes, including the Sustainable Farming Scheme (SFS). The work will establish a robust evaluation framework and design, complete a process evaluation, and provide evidence to support statutory reporting under the Agriculture (Wales) Act 2023. Description of Procurement The contract is expected to cover two stages: Stage 1: Preparatory Report (Early 2026 – Late 2026). This will include: i) development of an evaluation framework aligned with the SLM Theory of Change (ERAMMP Report 108) and statutory objectives; ii) structured and transparent assessment of methodologies for process evaluation, impact evaluation, and Value for Money assessments; iii) creation of a data strategy and gap analysis; and, iv) reviewing the lessons that can be learned from previous schemes. Stage 2: Interim Process Evaluation (Winter 2026/2027 – Mid 2028). This will include: i) process evaluation of the SFS to date; ii) process evaluation of SLM to date, including analysis of its governance, delivery mechanisms, and participant experience; iii) recommendations to improve design and evaluation ahead of the final Impact Report. The project is expected to require research with a wide range of stakeholders, including significant fieldwork with farmers (e.g. via interviews, focus groups). The contract will require bilingual (English and Welsh) fieldwork and reporting and compliance with data protection, ethical research standards, and Cyber Essentials. Consortiums and partnerships may therefore be deemed suitable by suppliers. Estimated value: £230,000 – £256,900 (excluding VAT), with an optional additional budget of up to £35,000 for supplementary data collection and analysis. Contract length: February 2026 – December 2028 (with optional 6-month extension). The procurement will be conducted via the Crown Commercial Service Research & Insights Dynamic Purchasing System (RM6126). The Invitation to Tender is expected to open in early December and the deadline for submission of supplier responses will be approximately mid-January 2026.
