## Summary

The Buying Organisation, The Planning Inspectorate, has issued a tender for "Planning Appeal Decisions and Associated Services" in the Urban planning services industry category. The procurement stage is at the "Planning" phase, with a tender period ending on 9th September 2022 and a contract period starting on 1st November 2022. The procurement method is "Selective" through a Restricted procedure, with a contract value of £12,000,000.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses providing urban planning services to compete for a long-term contract. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSEs) organisations are suitable participants. Businesses with experience in planning appeal decisions are well-suited to apply and potentially secure contracts within a Dynamic Purchasing System for the next ten years. The fixed prices set by the Inspectorate offer stability and potential growth for successful bidders in the procurement process.

## Notice

We intend to use the restricted procurement procedure to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), for a maximum of ten years, to supply planning appeal decisions and associated services over three lots. The lots include: 1. s78 Planning Appeal (General), 2. Householder and Commercial Appeals Service and 3. Tree Preservation Order Appeals. To join the DPS your application must meet the selection criteria, which vary according to your current status. For example, if you currently supply these services to the Planning Inspectorate or an equivalent organisation then you are eligible to use the faster less complex selection process. Otherwise, you must have at least five years relevant experience, with evidence to support and write an example planning appeal decision(s). If your decision meets the selection criteria, we will invite you to an interview, the results of which must also meet the selection criteria. Prices are fixed by the Inspectorate. You can request the Procurement Documents by emailing procurement@planninginspectorate.gov.uk Additional information: Please note that all documents are available from procurement@planninginspectorate.gov.uk
