The brief

The Weyside Urban Village (WUV) project is an Authority-led regeneration programme that will deliver a new sustainable neighbourhood comprising approximately 1,550 homes, including affordable housing, together with supporting infrastructure, community facilities, employment space, open space and environmental enhancements.

As the project progresses from planning and enabling works into long-term delivery, the Authority requires a structured and professional approach to communications and stakeholder engagement to support the successful implementation of the programme.

This includes maintaining effective relationships with a wide range of stakeholders, managing expectations, and ensuring that accurate and timely information is shared throughout all phases of delivery.

The Authority is therefore seeking to appoint a Communications and Engagement Consultant to support the development and delivery of a comprehensive and coordinated approach to stakeholder engagement and programme communications.

The requirement encompasses both strategic and operational support across the lifecycle of the project.

The appointed consultant will be expected to build upon the engagement activity undertaken to date, which has involved a diverse range of stakeholders including local residents, businesses, community groups, infrastructure providers and public sector organisations.

The consultant will be required to support ongoing engagement with these groups, ensuring communication is inclusive, accessible and responsive to stakeholder needs.
