## Summary

Derbyshire County Council has concluded the procurement process for the supply of a Planning Development Management System, along with associated services, identified under CPV code 48000000, related to software package and information systems.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in software solutions and information systems.

The focus on automated, comprehensive solutions aligns well with the strategic development goals of municipal planning authorities, ensuring sustained demand for innovative software systems.

## Notice

The Council approached all suppliers available under Lot 3: Housing, Environmental and Planning Solutions of GCA RM6259 Vertical Application Solutions to take part in a Further Competition. The Council sought to procure a modern, cloud-based Planning System to support its statutory functions as a County Planning Authority. The Solution must provide end-to-end functionality (the ability of a system to operate fully - from start to finish - without requiring assistance from external systems or third-party resources) for the management of minerals and waste planning applications, policy development, managing legal agreements, monitoring, and enforcement. It must also be capable of supporting broader planning-related activities undertaken by the Council, where required.
