The requirements are broken down into three Lots and competent and suitably experienced organisations are invited to bid for each Lot. NB: Each Lot is for a specified requirement and will be evaluated separately. - Lot 1 Masterplanning co-ordination and capacity support. The requirement is for experienced urban designer/s to support ENC and the JPU. This will include supporting the Design Working Group, liaising with the promoter's professional team and advising on good practice/ innovation and design processes - including design coding. Administrative support (meeting arrangements and minutes), will be provided through the JPU. The anticipated requirement is for up to 50 days' input, including attendance at 6 meetings of the Design Working Group. - Lot 2 Design Review. The requirement is to arrange and manage a multi-disciplinary design review panel to meet at key stages to test the quality of the emerging masterplan, design codes and development proposals. This Design Review process will operate in accordance with the ten principles of design review [designcouncil.org.uk](http://www.designcouncil.org.uk/resources/guide/design-review-principles-and-practice) to provide independent assurance that the design quality is exemplary in accordance with JCS Policy 14. The appointed consultant will produce a letter within 10 working days of the design review meeting summarising the Panel's views and setting out clear recommendations where additional information or improvements are required. Accommodation for review panel meetings will be provided at ENC offices. It is expected that the Design Review Panel will meet on up to 6 occasions during 2017/18 to consider the masterplan, design codes and planning application. - Lot 3 Expert multi-disciplinary design input. The requirement is for expert advice to assist ENC/JPU in working with the Deene Estate's consultants on the work-streams identified (see Figure 2 in the Specification) , ensuring that the Garden Village proposals explore best practice and innovation. This will include input on landscape, architecture, energy, sustainable drainage, highway design. This input will help address issues raised through Design Review process and consultation/stakeholder engagement. It is estimated that up to 40 days' input will be required including attendance at some Design Working Groups. This assumes 8 days each for up to 5 experts. The precise apportionment of time will depend on the issues to be addressed.
