## Summary

The MINISTRY OF HOUSING, COMMUNITIES & LOCAL GOVERNMENT is currently in the planning stage of a public procurement process titled "Building Support for Local Development." This initiative, categorised under research services (CPV code: 73110000), aims to explore the impact of local support or opposition on housing development permissions. Key milestones include an engagement end date set for 17:00 hours on Thursday, 26 April 2018, with responses required by 12:00 hours on the same date.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in research services, particularly those focused on community engagement and urban planning. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find this procurement particularly suitable, allowing them to contribute insights into fostering support for local housing development in areas of high need. Competing will benefit firms adept at understanding local dynamics and stakeholder engagement in the housing sector.

## Notice

There is a common assumption in public discourse that support or opposition for local housing development has a significant impact on whether permissions are granted by decision makers in Local Planning Authorities (LPAs). There is also a common perception that local decision makers in areas of high housing need may not be granting the permissions needed to deliver the homes we need. However, there is surprisingly little research into support for local development and its effect on decision making. We aim to conduct research in order to identify: a) if decisions are impacted by support or opposition; b) if so, to understand the reasons behind this; and c) to help identify ways to encourage greater support for local housing development in areas of high housing need. Additional information: UPDATE (24.04.18): The deadline for responses is now 17:00 hours on Thursday 26 April 2018.
