The Council is seeking a consultant to deliver a Playing Pitch Needs Assessment, following Sports England Playing Pitch Guidance, and to develop a Sports and Physical Activity Strategy. Playing Pitch Needs Assessment: The Council requires a comprehensive assessment of the borough’s outdoor playing pitch provision and future needs for all sports covered by Sport England’s Playing Pitch Guidance across the borough over the lifetime of the Local Plan (to 2030). Developing and delivering a playing pitch needs assessment entails a staged approach.

The Needs Assessment should correlate to Stages B and C of the development cycle set out in the guidance document.

The strategy will need to cover indoor and outdoor sports, as well as physical activity. We require the strategy to be intelligence led and developed in partnership. The consultant will be required to develop the strategy under the direction of a steering group, which we anticipate will include internal stakeholders and external stakeholders such as NGBs.

The details of this programme will need to be worked up with input from the consultant. We require a draft of the strategy in March 2017, with the final strategy produced by May 2017.
