Published requirement descriptionThe 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.
