## Notice

Background -broader context The Planning Inspectorate's ability to anticipate and prepare for future change and uncertainty was identified as a strategic risk in 2020. We have since taken steps to improve our foresight capabilities, recruiting a Futures Lead, establishing a horizon scanning function and commissioning a scenario project on changing casework demand and future skills requirements. To build on this work, the Planning Inspectorate is now seeking to integrate foresight into its strategic planning, emerging risk and corporate governance processes. As part of this, we are looking to develop an evidence base of long-term change which can be used to inform our decision-making and deliver long-term benefits for society, the economy and the built and natural environment. Requirement We require a partner to work with us to provide research services to support the development of this evidence-base (hereafter referred to as Trend Deck).
