Coverage: 53 active published awards; 53 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Published-to-award variance compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

What is being bought
Orkney Islands Council as a statutory Planning Authority has the means to enter agreements with third parties under Section 75 of the Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 in order to restrict the use of land or regulate the use of land being developed where this is necessary to ensure that a development meets provisions associated with Planning decision. Such provisions may include financial provision through a bond or other means which the Planning Authority may call upon at a later date to ensure that remediation or other works which may be addressed in a planning condition are complete should the original developer no longer intend to discharge that condition.
The Council wishes to commission specialist advisors to support a review of historic agreements; and to act as lead advisor to the Council in negotiating and framing future agreements where these are required.
