Tender: Evaluation of Local Listed Building Consent Orders – Costs, Implementation and Value for Money

About

A contracting authority is seeking a supplier to evaluate the implementation of Local Listed Building Consent Orders (LLBCOs) to understand costs, value for money, complexity, barriers to implementation and overall impacts. The work should identify what subjects LLBCOs cover and whether there are groups or typologies, examine the approaches Local Planning Authorities (LPAs) are taking to develop LLBCOs and the resources associated with that development (including differences by type), estimate the savings to LPAs (financial and work avoided) from introducing LLBCOs, assess how LLBCOs are working in practice (requirements on applicants, awareness and wider benefits to applicants or society) and provide clear conclusions on whether LLBCOs represent value for money, whether they are being developed effectively and efficiently and whether implementation is consistent or could be improved to ensure benefits are realised.
