Requirement
Background
In line with The Planning Inspectorate's HR policy there is a requirement to provide a whistle blowing service to all staff to encourage a culture of openness, transparency and enable all staff to report any perceived issues. There are some instances where staff may not feel comfortable with report issues via the line management chain, but would be comfortable reporting it through the external service.
We have operated an external service for 7 years and the current contract expires 31 October 2022.
Please see REQUIREMENT AND DELIVERABLES IN ITT FOR SPECIFICATION.
Your written proposal and pricing proposal must be submitted to linda.paul@planninginspectorate.gov.uk no later than 12:00 noon Thursday 08 September 2022. Written proposals and pricing received after this deadline will not be accepted.
We intend to use the restricted procurement procedure to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), for a maximum of ten years, to supply planning appeal decisions and associated services over three lots.
The lots include:
1. s78 Planning Appeal (General),
2. Householder and Commercial Appeals Service and
3. Tree Preservation Order Appeals.
To join the DPS your application must meet the selection criteria, which vary according to your current status.
For example, if you currently supply these services to the Planning Inspectorate or an equivalent organisation then you are eligible to use the faster less complex selection process.
Otherwise, you must have at least five years relevant experience, with evidence to support and write an example planning appeal decision(s). If your decision meets the selection criteria, we will invite you to an interview, the results of which must also meet the selection criteria.
Prices are fixed by the Inspectorate.
