As the city grows, Plymouth City Council (PCC) faces the challenge of maintaining efficient administrative and regulatory services. Currently, the council utilises a comprehensive software system to manage planning, building control and other regulatory services. However, with the demands of a modernising city, PCC recognises the need for an updated system that can better support its operations and enhance service delivery to its customers and residents. The requirements for a comprehensive system designed to manage pre-application planning, planning applications, planning appeals, planning enforcement, building control applications, building control enforcement and highways-related functionalities. The goal of this system is to streamline processes, enhance user experience, ensure data security, and provide robust reporting capabilities. Delt Shared Services, a strategic partner of Plymouth City Council, plays a crucial role in managing and supporting the council's IT infrastructure. Recognising the limitations of the current software, Delt Shared Services has advised PCC on the necessity of transitioning to a new system that can more effectively handle the city's administrative needs. This collaborative approach ensures that the council's requirements are thoroughly understood and addressed, leading to a more streamlined and efficient process for all stakeholders involved. To achieve this transition, Plymouth City Council, with the support of Delt Shared Services, is initiating a tender process to identify the most suitable replacement for their current software. The objective is to procure a system based on the Most Economically Advantageous Tender (MEAT) criteria, ensuring that the selected solution provides the best value for money while meeting the council's operational needs. This process will involve a thorough evaluation of potential systems, considering factors such as functionality, scalability, and cost-effectiveness, to ensure that the new system will effectively support PCC's objectives and contribute to the city's continued growth and development. https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert/Index?advertId=54220e6a-3f74-ef11-812f-005056b64545 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/49ecff90-6d90-483c-85fc-f2a183084e73 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Sep 2024 | | Submission deadline | 1 Nov 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 5 Dec 2024 - 15 Jul 2030 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £250,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DELT SHARED SERVICES LIMITED | | Locality | PLYMOUTH | | Post town | Plymouth | | Postcode | PL6 5QZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK4 Devon | | ITL 3 | TLK41 Plymouth | | Local authority | Plymouth | | Electoral ward | Moor View | | Westminster constituency | Plymouth Moor View | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems ### Codes - 48000000 - Software package and information systems ## Release History - 17 Sep 2024 at 10:57 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/49ecff90-6d90-483c-85fc-f2a183084e73 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/49ecff90-6d90-483c-85fc-f2a183084e73 17th September 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://deltservices.com/ - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert/Index?advertId=54220e6a-3f74-ef11-812f-005056b64545 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
