REQUEST FOR QUOTATION TO APPOINT CONSULTANTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MASTERPLAN FOR BASINGSTOKE'S LEISURE PARK

Tender description

Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council ("the Council") wishes to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced consultant team to prepare a Masterplan for Basingstoke Leisure Park. The appointed consultant will be part of a team of consultants procured by the Council who are preparing an ambitious yet commercially robust strategy for Basingstoke Leisure Park. This is an exciting opportunity to develop a new strategy for the future of the Leisure Park which, due to its size, is considered able to accommodate a range of uses. The strategy and Masterplan will reflect the aspirations of the council to meet the needs of a growing and diverse population with sustainability and climate change mitigation at its heart. The aims of the project to prepare the Masterplan are: • To provide a development and investment framework to guide the regeneration of the Leisure Park over the next 20 years. • To provide a framework to evaluate ideas and proposals from within the Council itself, including the use of council assets and the delivery of public facilities and services. • To provide a spatial and urban design framework to guide the future planning of the Leisure Park. The council is looking for an innovative and creative organisation with a proven track record of delivering similar pieces of work for other local authorities. Robust experience in town centre place making and masterplanning combined with an understanding of the retail, leisure, commercial and residential sectors will be required. In addition to suppliers being able to demonstrate their knowledge of consumer behaviour and expectations.
