What is being bought

Published requirement description

NWL is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified Supplier to provide Local Plan Document Production Software and Local Plan Consultation Software.

The software will be used exclusively by the Planning Policy team which currently comprises five officers although additional and interim staff may also be required to use both applications on occasion. In addition, the Local Plan Programme Officer will need to be able to use the consultation software.

As a guide, we would expect to produce at least one Local Plan consultation document per year. The number of other consultation documents (e.g. Supplementary Planning Documents) we may produce is uncertain but could be up to three per year.
