Ring Stones Maintenance and Construction, as part of The Calico Group, are looking to procure a limited framework of Specialist Development Consultants (consultants) to support their external development activities.

- Concept Planning and Agreements. The consultants are required to assist in the feasibility of opportunities, planning to optimise site value, and support initial discussions with potential partners including due diligence.

- Funding Management and Funding Sourcing. The consultants are required to fully understand the forward funding requirements for these types of projects. Furthermore the consultants will need to evidence/ exhibit an extensive working knowledge and experience of different types of funding streams and the potential for grant funding. They will also be required to work closely with our finance team to ensure that each project delivers against its financial objectives.

- Operational Delivery. The consultants will be fully competent and experienced in delivery of all aspects of development project delivery including planning design, contract management, policy compliance and all other legal requirements.

This framework is not split into lots, and the successful Development Consultants are required to deliver high quality services across all the specification areas

It is envisaged that this limited framework will consist of a maximum of 3 providers. However, in the event that two or more providers score equally at 3rd place, then the Authority will appoint both / all 3rd ranked suppliers
