Tender description

Land Registry is a non-ministerial government department established in 1862, responsible for the registration of land and property in England and Wales. Land Registry currently holds 3 registers — the Register of Title to Land, Land Charges Register and Agricultural Credits Register. Under the provisions of the Infrastructure Act 2015, Land Registry will become the sole registering authority for Local Land Charges (LLC). Land Registry requires a Planning and Delivery Partner to support it, in both delivering and populating (by migrating data held in a arrange of formats from 326 Local Authorities) a centralised, digital, open Local Land Charges register, comprising a spatial database, a user interface for updating and querying the register and Application Programming Interfaces for updating and querying the register. This procurement will form part of a major transformational programme currently being operated by Land Registry. The scope of the LLC Programme is to take the 326 English LLC registers and replace them with a single digital register. Replacing the 22 Welsh LLC Registers will be subject to a further business case and is currently out of scope. This notice relates to the Planning and Delivery Partner procurement. See the http://blog.landregistry.gov.uk/category/local-land-charges/ for updates on all activity and other procurements which form part of the programme. The LLC Programme is a large and complex business change programme, which requires support (capacity and capability) from a Planning and Delivery Partner (PDP). The PDP will be fully integrated into the LLC Programme Team and support the delivery of the following two stages of the programme. The LLC Programme is constituted of two main stages of work: — Stage 1 (Planning). The Planning Stage will ensure that both Land Registry and Local Authorities are ready to make the transition to the LLC Register and that the implementation risk is understood and mitigated to an acceptable level. This stage will complete once the Land Registry has had final approval for the LLC Full Business Case. — Stage 2 (Delivery). The Delivery Stage will immediately follow the final approval of the LLC Full Business Case. At this point the PDP, Quality Assurance Partner and Digitisation and Migration suppliers will be in place and under contract. The Delivery Stage will focus on the incremental migration (described in the Lotting Strategy) of Local Authority LLC registers to the Land Registry LLC Register. This stage will complete once all the Local Authorities have migrated to the LLC Register. Specifically, the PDP will be required to carry out the following nine requirements.
