Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottinghamshire County Council procured a planning policy consultation platform as a services contract for use in the East Midlands. The requirement is for OpusConsult, including the OpusMap mapping capability and PlanAI. In practical terms, the platform supports the council’s planning-policy consultation activity through software and information systems, with mapping and artificial-intelligence features included in the proposed solution. The procurement was run as a G-Cloud 14 exercise, so it is relevant to suppliers of cloud-based planning, consultation, mapping or related public-sector software. The named public-sector buyer is Nottinghamshire County Council, based in Nottinghamshire, and the delivery area is the East Midlands.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. The contract was evaluated through a G-Cloud 14 exercise, with JDi Solutions Ltd selected as supplier. The award date was 1 April 2026, for £49,000 GBP. The contract period runs from 6 June 2026 to 5 June 2029. The tender submission deadline was 31 March 2026 at 23:59. The service is classified as software package and information systems, with services as the main category. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The awarded requirement covers the planning consultation platform, including OpusMap and PlanAI, rather than a broader construction, planning consultancy or physical works contract.

For suppliers assessing future demand from Nottinghamshire County Council, this award shows a requirement for a focused digital planning-policy consultation platform rather than general-purpose software. Credible competitors would need to provide cloud-based software that supports public consultation, planning-policy workflows, mapping through a capability such as OpusMap, and artificial-intelligence functionality comparable to PlanAI. Experience supplying public-sector software through a recognised cloud purchasing route would be commercially relevant, particularly for smaller technology businesses, since the procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs. Providers should be able to demonstrate an integrated product, practical planning-sector capability and the capacity to support the council’s regional service users throughout delivery.
