What is being bought

1. Viability assessment is a process of assessing whether development is financially viable, by looking at whether the value generated by a development is more than the cost of developing it and whether the resulting value is sufficient to bring the site to market. This includes looking at the key elements of gross development value, costs, land value, landowner premium, and developer return. The purpose of this viability assessment is to provide Mid Devon District Council with robust viability evidence to support the preparation and adoption of the district’s new Local Plan (“Plan Mid Devon”). The assessment will provide advice on the viability of new development within the district taking into account relevant national and local factors such as: sales and rental values, construction costs, planning obligations or standards applied as a result of local and national policies, building regulations and other relevant regulatory requirements. A key output will be advice on provision of affordable housing from housing sites. The Assessment will test whether proposed site allocations and policies can realistically be delivered and therefore whether the local plan meets the relevant soundness test.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 73. The category anchor is Research and development services and related consultancy services (73000000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
