This project falls under the research and development services category and is intended to gather insights on section 106 planning obligations in England. The procurement stage is currently in the planning phase, with a communication notice expected on 20 February 2017, and the contract period set to commence on 27 March 2017 and conclude by 26 September 2017. The procurement will take place in the South East of the United Kingdom. While no budget has been disclosed yet, the tender is anticipated to be published via the open procedure on Contracts Finder, adhering to the specific regulations outlined for research services. This upcoming tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research and consultancy services, particularly those with a focus on planning obligations and infrastructure financing. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to participate, especially those with experience in related fields such as local government consulting, urban planning, and policy research. The insights gained from this research could benefit a wide range of stakeholders, including various government departments and the development industry, thus fostering collaborative engagements and potential growth avenues for participating businesses. ## Notice The purpose of this notice is to give interested suppliers advanced notice of a potential up coming procurement. However the Authority reserves the right to not proceed to procurement. The Department for Communities and Local Government or "DCLG" is considering inviting tenders for research on section 106 planning obligations in England. The research will cover 5 areas: 1 - The Value and incidence of planning obligations; 2 - Investigating the relationship between s106 and CIL 3 - Negotiation processes and delays due to s106 4 - Developer contributions and infrastructure funding gaps 5 - Monitoring and transparency of developer contributions. The specific objectives of this research are to: 1 - Update evidence on the current incidence and value of planning obligations; 2 - Understand more fully the relationship between CIL and s106; 3 - Provide a more detailed picture of the negotiation process and delays due to s106 and how this differs between smaller and larger sites, with a view to inform how the process may be streamlined; and 4 - Understand how CIL and s106 contribute to funding infrastructure for housing, and the extent to which there may still be a gap in the funding needed to deliver local plan targets. If this requirement proceeds to tender, it will be advertised via the open procedure on Contracts Finder. Due to article 14 of the 2015 Procurement Regulations, on research and development services, this project does not need to be commissioned through the full OJEU process. This is because the benefits of the research will not accrue exclusively to the Authority, for its use in the conduct of its own affairs. Reasons why the Authority do not regard that the benefits of this research will accrue exclusively to the Authority are as follows: - The Authority will publish the research on its website so it can be accessed by anyone externally; and - The research will be of interest to organisations and individuals outside of the Authority. This includes other government departments such as DfT and HMT; academics, local authorities and the development industry. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e0f8c4d2-6b8e-4f9a-b51c-ed5d1b0fba38 | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Feb 2017 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 20 Feb 2017 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 26 Mar 2017 - 26 Sep 2017 | | 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 | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CROWN COMMERCIAL SERVICE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | WC2B 6NH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI36 Camden | | Local authority | Camden | | Electoral ward | Holborn & Covent Garden | | Westminster constituency | Holborn and St Pancras | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 10 Feb 2017 at 12:23 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e0f8c4d2-6b8e-4f9a-b51c-ed5d1b0fba38 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e0f8c4d2-6b8e-4f9a-b51c-ed5d1b0fba38 10th February 2017 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
