The Contract duration will be from May 2022 for an initial period of 36 months. There will be two Authority held options to extend, each by 12 months.
Due to the nature of planning submissions, it is difficult to predict the timing, type or volume of applications received. Therefore, the Contractor may have periods where no work or assistance is required, but other periods were multiple and mixed application types are received concurrently and require attention, to meet respective statutory time periods.
The Contractor shall not be permitted to be involved in any planning application submitted to the Authority by either the Council or any third party during the term of the Contract. Additional information: The Contractor shall not be permitted to be involved in any planning application submitted to the Authority by either the Council or any third party during the term of the Contract.
