The submission route named on the official notice.
This sits in the lower-middle of the Business Services band — a mid-scale opportunity. Based on 57,319 valued Business Services tenders in our corpus.

22% of Erewash Borough Council’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.

Erewash Borough Council (EBC) have started work on a new Local Plan, which will be drawn up using the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) 2026.
EBC are now looking for a contractor to prepare and present a Retail Needs Study to be used by the Planning Policy team to help contribute towards assessing the retail needs of the Borough for the new Local Plan.
If needs are identified, the study is to inform on possible allocations or thresholds for town centre uses within or outside town and local centres that should be included in the plan.
