Cambridge Norwich Technology Corridor (CNTC) - Economic Area & Growth Potential Analysis RFQ

Tender description

Following the completion of dualling of the A11, between the junction with the M11 and Norwich, 11 Local Authorities established a project group with the shared aim of securing substantial economic growth in the area, focussing on advanced manufacturing, engineering and agri-tech, while adapting to the potential for additional housing accommodation to meet the needs of a growing employment base around the A11 area. Originally named the A11 technology Corridor, the project has been re-branded the 'Cambridge Norwich Technology Corridor' (CTNC) to reflect the ambition to be inclusive of partners at either end of the corridor; Cambridge and Norwich. After an initial feasibility study, the group is seeking revised analysis and reporting on Economic Area & Growth Potential for the expanded area. On behalf of the CNTC Project Group, Breckland Council wishes to engage Consultancy services to deliver the following outcomes; o Establish the economic position across defined geography o Estimated growth potential o Summarise major employment & housing sites o Sector analysis & growth propositions o Identification of major infrastructure projects o Understanding CTNC in context with other growth activity in the region
