North Hertfordshire District Council Gypsy, Traveller and Travelling Showpeople Accommodation Assessment (GTAA)
The Council is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified Consultant to undertake a Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation Assessment (GTAA).
The study will:
• assess the need for future accommodation;
• inform the requirement for allocations in the North Hertfordshire Local Plan 2029-2040.
The study should be consistent with requirements set out in the Government’s National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and Planning Practice Guidance (PPG) and any updates as appropriate.
This is the pre-qualification stage of a two stage process, for the procurement of a replacement Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) platform supporting the Herts Careline service.
North Hertfordshire District Council (NHDC) has previously undertaken Preliminary Market Engagement to inform this procurement.
The ARC forms a critical component of the Council’s telecare infrastructure, providing 24/7 monitoring and response capability for vulnerable residents and partner organisations. The current platform is approaching technical and contractual end of life and requires replacement with a modern, secure and resilient solution capable of supporting both legacy analogue alarm traffic and the transition to digital telecare technologies.
NHDC uses an E-Tendering system (In-Tend) for all procurement activities. Suppliers must submit their responses via the Supply Hertfordshire Portal at: Supply Hertfordshire Electronic Tendering Site - Home
- You must be registered on the portal to submit a response.
