The Catapult has developed a 'Future of Planning' programme to: ·   demystify the planning process; ·   understand which elements of the process can be enhanced through data, design and digital tools; ·   develop concepts, use cases, prototypes and speculative film that demonstrate the future fo planning; and ·   quantify the inefficiencies in the current system and value new ways of doing planning. As part of this programme Future Cities Catapult has identified, through our 'State of the Art research', our initial phase of user research and our internal R&D, a large number of 'Digital Planning Concepts' that could tweak or transform the planning system. A separate concept testing phase will reduce ten Digital Planning Concepts into a shortlist of three. We wish to commission a company to develop the priority concept or concepts into a variety of tangible outputs including: ·   User interface outline designs ·   Usability testing ·   User interface design feature development ·   Usability testing ·   Online protoype (potentially 'working' but most likely user experience) ·   Supporting technical specification ·   Supporting film/design content The Supplier will provide the following deliverables: • Initial technical assessment of three priority concepts with reference to the deliverability of user experience and/or working prototypes, including programme to deliver; • First draft of storyboards/UI wireframes for user experience and/or working prototypes; • First Draft of Prototype(s); • Usability testing; • Revised prototype(s) and supporting design/film content; and • Technical specification.
