This tender falls under the industry category of Software package and information systems (CPV: 48000000) and encompasses additional categories such as IT services and software consultancy. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with the tender period set to end on January 17, 2025. The project targets a broad geographic location, including the British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. The proposed contract period will run from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2030. This tender presents substantial opportunities for growth, particularly for SMEs, by offering a chance to provide specialized software solutions to a local government. Businesses well-suited to compete include those with expertise in collaborative software development, IT consulting, and content management systems. The successful provider will need to offer a system that supports collaborative authoring and effective public consultation, with functionality for managing stakeholder feedback, maintaining mailing lists, and facilitating notifications of consultation events. This initiative by Wakefield Council underscores the demand for comprehensive software tailored to public policy development and consultation processes, presenting an excellent business growth opportunity for qualified suppliers. ## Notice Wakefield Council is considering procurement options for Planning Authoring, Publishing and Consultation Management Software. The purpose of this market consultation is to ascertain the interest of any qualified providers and to understand what services are available in the current market. Completion of the questionnaire and any involvement in the market engagement exercise does not confer any right or expectation that a supplier will be selected for any contract should a procurement exercise be undertaken. The Planning Policy and Environment team at Wakefield Council is responsible for authoring and consulting on a range of policies and guidance documents. These include the statutory development plan for the district (the Local Plan) as well as Supplementary Planning Documents (SPD), Design Codes and Conservation Area Appraisals. To undertake this work effectively, the council needs a system which allows collaborative authoring (more than one officer can amend the documents simultaneously) as well as enabling stakeholders to comment on individual sections of the document. This enables effective analysis by each document section. It is also important for the system to contain a mailing list of interested parties, enable interested parties to register via the website and enable notifications of consultation events to be sent to such parties. Interested parties would have an account within the software for them to draft comments and eventually submit them to the consultation. Once submitted, the system would need to be able to display comments on the website next to the relevant section of the draft policy document. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a937798c-3720-41d3-80d1-1193d6fca428 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Dec 2024 | | Submission deadline | 17 Jan 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Sep 2025 - 30 Sep 2030 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WAKEFIELD COUNCIL | | Locality | WAKEFIELD | | Post town | Wakefield | | Postcode | WF1 2EB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE45 Wakefield | | Local authority | Wakefield | | Electoral ward | Wakefield North | | Westminster constituency | Wakefield and Rothwell | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 48000000 - Software package and information systems - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 72200000 - Software programming and consultancy services ## Release History - 12 Dec 2024 at 16:09 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a937798c-3720-41d3-80d1-1193d6fca428 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a937798c-3720-41d3-80d1-1193d6fca428 12th December 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=88535&B=UK Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/104123 User / Company ## Notice URLs - https://www.wakefield.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
