## Summary

Durham County Council has completed the procurement process for a digital platform named "Land Assessment System (PlaceMaker)" under the industry category of Software package and information systems (CPV code: 48000000). This project, with an awarded value of £153,000, aims to enhance land assessment processes for the Council and potentially other Local Authorities in the North East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement adhered to a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, with Urban Intelligence Limited being awarded the contract. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract running from 1st July 2024 to 30th June 2028.

This tender opens significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software development and information systems, particularly those capable of delivering comprehensive digital solutions for public sector projects. Small to Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged, as the project prioritises integration with existing systems and advanced functionality that facilitates public engagement. Businesses skilled in creating user-friendly digital platforms that support multiple land use categories such as housing, employment, recreation, and biodiversity net gain would find this a fitting project to support and leverage for future opportunities with local authorities.

## Notice

Our project entails the procurement of a comprehensive digital platform specifically designed for land assessments. The platform will feature a user-friendly interface, integration with existing systems and data, and advanced functionalities that will transform the way land assessments are conducted for Durham County Council. It is also anticipated that other Local Authorities facing the same challenges will be able to adopt similar practices following completion of the project. The proposed project is to rationalise our existing database of sites for Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) and migrate to a more advanced digital platform which will also allow improved public engagement. A system which allows more efficient and user-friendly processes to be implemented in relation to land assessment, will enable the existing site assessment to be broadened from housing to also include other uses such as employment, open space, recreation, and biodiversity net gain.
