## Summary

Leeds City Council has conducted a public procurement process titled "Plans Panel Challenge" aimed at reviewing the effectiveness of plans panels in the context of local growth. This process falls under the services category (CPV 79000000) and was initiated as a direct award strategy with a budget of £10,800. The contract period runs from 1st March 2018 to 31st August 2018, with the award officially published on 20th July 2018. The delivery addresses are located in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom, and the procurement stage is complete.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses that specialise in consultancy and evaluation services, particularly those experienced in public administration and stakeholder engagement. Companies that can demonstrate a strong understanding of planning processes and can offer innovative solutions for improving operational efficiencies would be well-suited to compete in future endeavours similar to this. Engaging with public sector contracts can not only enhance a firm’s portfolio but also provide a platform for establishing long-term relationships with local government entities.

## Notice

Leeds City Council wishes to undertake a review of the plans panels, structure and how they are operating in the context of an ambitious and challenging growth agenda for the area. The review will identify and quantify issues relating to the way applications are handled by the panels from pre-application involvement and delegation arrangements, through to their performance and the quality of decision-making, as well as exploring the perceptions of customers and stakeholders and their interaction with the panels. A project output will be a report which will outline recommendations on how procedures might be improved and streamlined as well as highlighting examples of good practice both within the panels and from other authorities.
