The provision of multi-disciplinary professional expertise and capacity - strategic development and planning

The Isle of Anglesey County Council (IACC) wish to procure a suitably qualified and experienced consultancy to call upon, as needed, to provide multi-disciplinary professional expertise and capacity support for strategic development and planning work undertaken by its Economic Development Function. The Team, part of the Council’s Regulation and Economic Development Service (REDS), is a small but busy one. Duties cover a range of activities from socio-economic analysis and statistical baselining to understand the locality and justify the Council’s own plans and proposals, project development (concepts through to detailed proposals), associated strategic planning, formal business planning and bid writing, consenting, on-the-ground delivery and subsequent monitoring and evaluation of outputs and outcomes. The team also responds, on behalf of the Council, to policy consultations in respect of, for example, new plans and policies being proposed by Welsh of UK Governments or other key national and regional partners (such as the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority or the North Wales Economic Ambition Board / Ambition North Wales). It also provides views on e.g. economic impact assessments and other related analyses presented as part of planning applications to colleagues in the Councils Planning and Development Management Team .
