## Summary

The East Suffolk Council has completed the appointment of an Independent Examiner for the East Suffolk Community Infrastructure Charging Schedule Examination. This procurement was initiated as a tender under the category of research consultancy services, specifically following a restricted procedure. The tender was open until 15th June 2021, with the contract period running from 15th July 2021 to 14th July 2022. The examination requires the selected Examiner to have relevant qualifications such as MRTPI or MRICS and previous experience in conducting Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) examinations, ensuring compliance with Section 212 of the Planning Act 2008.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in planning and surveying services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs). Companies with a background in community infrastructure, town planning, or survey consultancy could find this an advantageous area to expand their service offerings. The requirement for an experienced independent examiner highlights the demand for qualified professionals in this sector, potentially leading to further contract opportunities in future CIL examinations across different regions.

## Notice

We are seeking an appropriately qualified and experienced Examiner to conduct an examination of a new East Suffolk CIL Charging Schedule. Section 212 (2) of the Planning Act 2008 says that any CIL Charging Schedule examiner must be (a) independent of the charging authority and (b) has appropriate qualifications. The Council is therefore seeking such a person. It is essential that the person has previous experience of undertaking at least one CIL Examination (in the recent past) and, in terms of professional qualifications, is a chartered town planner (MRTPI) and/or chartered surveyor (MRICS) or has another similar professional qualification.
