II.2.4) Description of the procurement
Background
Gloucestershire faces significant challenges to achieve its vision for economic growth. A
Joint Core Strategy (JCS) – a partnership between Gloucester City Council, Cheltenham
Borough Council and Tewkesbury Borough Council was formed to produce a co-ordinated
strategic development plan to show how the region will develop during the period up to
2031. This includes a shared spatial vision targeting 35,175 new homes and 39,500 new jobs
by 2031. Major development of new housing (c.9,000 homes) and employment land
(c.100ha) is proposed in strategic and safeguarded allocations in the West and North West
of Cheltenham, much of which lies within Tewkesbury Borough Council. This, in turn, is
linked to wider economic investment, including a government supported and nationally
significant Cyber Park adjacent to GCHQ, predicted to generate c.7,000 jobs.
The M5 J10 improvement scheme (Scheme or Project) is critical to achieving the vision set
out above. The Scheme was also identified by Highways England in the Birmingham to Exeter
Route Strategy as being critical to: (a) maintaining the safe and efficient operation of the M5
corridor; and (b) enabling the planned development and economic growth around Cheltenham, Gloucester and Tewkesbury.
A Business Case for the Scheme was submitted in March 2019 to the Housing Infrastructure
Fund, wherein the investment case was made. Funding was awarded successfully by HIF in
March 2020.

the project lifecycle can be found at the following web link:-
