CCCC17A16 - National Infrastructure Assessment: National Estimates for Capture of Land Value Uplift

Tender description

The National Infrastructure Commission ("NIC") is an executive agency of the Treasury that enables long term strategic decision making to build effective and efficient infrastructure for the UK. The purpose of this requirement is to appoint an external provider who will deliver the following: 1 A tool/calculator that provides estimates in land value uplift following from changes in land purpose or infrastructure improvements. This tool should: a. be as detailed and comprehensive as possible by, for example, providing estimates for differentials in land value changes across locations at the lowest geographical level possible as well as for all different types of mechanisms or broader reforms in place; b. be flexible to allow to appraise the impact of alternative mechanisms or to easily incorporate relevant policy changes; and c. comprise a sensitivity analysis to allow for potential deviations in the estimates of land value uplifts that can arise due to the uncertainty they are subject to. 2 A rich and extensive database that gathers information on the value and designation (change in land use) of land and how this has changed over time, ideally at the lowest possible geographical level. The data and the model should be provided either in Excel (preferably) or Stata formats only. 3 Extensive model documentation to allow the NIC to use the model independently of the Provider. This documentation should include clear and simple guidance that will allow the NIC as end-user to operate the model, as well as a clear explanation of the model structure and logic, its methodology, underlying assumptions and limitations; inputs required and outputs expected. For full details of the requirement please refer to Appendix B Statement of Requirement.
