Surrey Spatial Development Strategy (SDS) Digital Platform

Surrey County Council seeks to commission a digital Platform to support development of its Surrey Spatial Development Strategy (SDS) and would like to invite potential Providers to join our virtual market engagement session.

The purpose of this event will be to:

• Outline the SDS high level requirements and indicative timeline
• Set out what we are looking for in a digital platform tool to support the SDS delivery
• Provide information around the proposed procurement route, including indicative timeline and on how to bid.
• Provide an opportunity for Providers to share comments and observations relevant to the forthcoming opportunity.
• Answer any questions Providers may have about the process, provide information on next steps and timeframes.

The context

The Surrey Spatial Development Strategy programme is seeking to engage with the market for the development of a comprehensive, evidence led digital platform that will support the preparation, implementation and ongoing monitoring of Surrey's statutory Spatial Development Strategy (SDS).

Through this engagement, Surrey is seeking approaches to designing and delivering an integrated, web based solution capable of hosting, managing, analysing and presenting complex spatial data. The ambition is to establish a single, accessible source of strategic evidence that supports collaborative planning, scenario testing, investment prioritisation and informed decision making across Surrey's local authorities and partner organisations.

Surrey is particularly interested in understanding how emerging technologies, innovative analytical tools and best practice approaches can enhance the usability, accessibility and long term value of the platform for a wide range of stakeholders.
