Herøy Municipality needs to update the land use part of the municipal plan and a number of development plans.

Herøy Municipality was part of the Coastal Plan Helgeland, which was adopted in 2019. Unfortunately the plan is already outdated, and getting a modern and updated plan for land use where the sea and land come under the same plan is a high priority in Herøy Municipality in order to meet the development need for businesses in the region.

Herøy Municipality has a close professional cooperation with its neighbouring municipality, Dønna on planning work, and the municipalities have decided to announce simultaneous similar contests for consultancy services for work on plans for land use and development plans. The plan is to be able to use the same professional milieu as support in the work on the municipalities' plans.

The framework agreement will consist of, amongst other things, assistance with planning processes and formulating planning documents, impact assessments, maps, and visualisation. The tenderer must have a close dialogue with the contracting authority through the various planning processes, with the goal of cost efficiency and knowledge based planning.

Herøy Municipality invites tenderers to a contest for a review of the land use part of the municipal plan (including the sea areas) and development plans. The aim of the procurement is to enter into a framework agreement with a tenderer for technical consultancy services for formulating the land use part of the municipal plan (including the sea areas), and for assistance with work on reviewing and a new formulation of development plans.

The contract is planned to be valid from 01.03.2023 until 01.03.2027, with the last two years as a unilateral option for the contracting authority with 1+1 year. The option will be automatically taken up if the tenderer does not receive three month prior notice.
