The contract is in the award stage, with an award value of £30,000 for a period commencing on 3 January 2017 and concluding on 7 September 2017. The initial tender period ended on 14 October 2016, and while the specific procurement method is classified as an open procedure, the opportunity is aimed at providing support to the planning department of the Council over a 10-month duration focused primarily on development management work. This tender presents significant opportunities for consultancy firms and authorities specialising in environmental and urban planning services to engage with local government operations, potentially leading to expanded services in the public sector. With the emphasis on handling planning applications and offering development management expertise, businesses with experience in planning consultancy, environmental assessments, and local governance will be particularly well-suited to compete effectively for this engagement. ## Notice The Council of the Isles of Scilly is seeking support from another authority or consultancy to provide support to the planning department for a period of 10 months. The main focus will be to lead on all development management work (with the exception of administration) from pre to post application work, including appeals and any enforcement. However, there will also be an expectation to provide some advice and support in other planning functions, including the preparation of the Local Plan. The anticipated split is envisaged to be 90% development management work and 10% for other planning services. A more detailed breakdown of the work required by the Council is provided in the accompanying specification but will include: * Process all types of planning applications - including negotiations with applicants, updating neighbours and Councillors as appropriate, finding solutions and preparing reports; * A desk-top pre-application planning advice service by phone, e-mail and letter; * Sites visits (on an exceptional basis); * Preparation of appeal statements Written Representation; * Provision of advice on potential breaches of planning control ; and * Advice on the review of the Local Plan (limited to 10%) Additional information: Procurement documents can be found on the Council of the Isles of Scilly website at: http://www.scilly.gov.uk/business-licensing/contracts/current-contract-opportunities ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dea1e52b-520d-441f-8067-8a33351bcdfd | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Jan 2017 | | Submission deadline | 14 Oct 2016 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 7 Nov 2016 | | Contract period | 3 Jan 2017 - 7 Sep 2017 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £35,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £30,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | COUNCIL OF THE ISLES OF SCILLY | | Locality | ST MARY'S, ISLES OF SCILLY | | Post town | Truro | | Postcode | TR21 0LW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK3 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | ITL 3 | TLK30 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | Local authority | Isles of Scilly | | Electoral ward | St Mary's | | Westminster constituency | St Ives | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | EXMOOR NATIONAL PARK AUTHORITY | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 71356000 - Technical services - 71410000 - Urban planning services - 90712000 - Environmental planning ## Release History - 3 Jan 2017 at 09:56 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dea1e52b-520d-441f-8067-8a33351bcdfd - 18 Nov 2016 at 20:17 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/80ce901e-e31c-4627-a7c2-bc0741a2c1ba ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dea1e52b-520d-441f-8067-8a33351bcdfd 3rd January 2017 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/80ce901e-e31c-4627-a7c2-bc0741a2c1ba 21st September 2016 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.scilly.gov.uk/business-licensing/contracts/current-contract-opportunities ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
