GB-Dorchester: MGN27 - Land and Property Insights and Mapping

Magna Housing Limited is a Community Benefit Society registered under The Co-operative Community Benefit Societies Act 2014 (7520) and a 'not for profit' Registered Provider. Registered with the Regulator of Social Housing and affiliated to the National Housing Federation. We operate in communities in West Dorset, Somerset and Parts of Devon.

We are looking to procure a multi-year contract that will provide Magna with singular database displaying property, commercial, demographic, environmental and development information. This Database must be able to be easily displayed in a user friendly mapping tool. Our expectation is that in year one, a complete portfolio review of Magna's properties will be undertaken to build the foundations of the service. We anticipate this initial portfolio review to include the following elements:

1.Property ownership

2.Location (Rural, urban, properties in protected areas)

3.Type (tenure, length of tenure, construction type, including garages)

4.Age (including last stock condition date)

5.Occupancy (including number of bedrooms)

This will involve; validation and accuracy of existing databases relating to properties, displaying them as a dataset and in a mapping tool.

In years two and three the contract must achieve the further development of the datasets and mapping tool to display, alongside the year one overview; future opportunities, trends and threats. These should be informed by (but not limited to) property, market, demographic and environmental analysis. This could be sourced from original analysis or credible third-party information, with the relationship between the contractor and the third party.

It would be advantageous if the contract and associated tool could develop to offer the inclusion and display of land, development and regeneration opportunities for Magna.
