## Summary

Arun District Council procured a hosted planning consultation management service under the OpusConsult brand. The requirement covers publication of planning documents, administration of statutory and public consultations, management of consultation responses and associated consultation data. It also includes mapping functionality, implementation, user training, system maintenance, software updates and ongoing support. This is a software-related services requirement for a council planning function, rather than a construction or planning consultancy commission. The buying organisation is Arun District Council, based in Littlehampton. The selected supplier is a specialist software provider, indicating a need for an integrated digital platform and continuing service support for the council’s consultation activities.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to JDi Solutions Ltd. It was a single-lot process using a below-threshold procedure with the specific method recorded as unknown. The award is active and the award date was 25 August 2026. The contract was signed on 25 August 2026 and runs from 25 August 2026 to 24 August 2029. Arun District Council may extend it by up to two separate 12-month periods, subject to satisfactory performance and continuing service requirements; the maximum possible end date is 24 August 2031. The contract value is £66,450 excluding VAT, or £79,740 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated as a services procurement and was below the applicable threshold.

This procurement shows established demand from Arun District Council for a specialist planning consultation platform delivered as an ongoing managed service. Suppliers competing for a future requirement would need a credible SaaS solution for publishing planning information, handling statutory and public consultation workflows, recording responses and maintaining consultation data. Useful capability would include reliable hosted software, mapping and geographical information functionality, implementation and configuration expertise, user training, software maintenance, updates and responsive technical support. Experience supporting public-sector planning teams and managing consultation information would strengthen a competing offer. The requirement suits software businesses, planning technology providers and systems integrators able to combine product capability with implementation and long-term service management.
