I think it is just a little bit difference between "intend to do" and "intend doing something" because " intend + V_ing" is derived from British English. You can use both of them without changing the meaning in your sentence(s).

I expect to find an infinitive after the verb "intend."

How do you intend to spend your inheritance?
What do you intend to do while in Paris?
I intend to contact your teacher as soon as possible.

As an American English speaker, I find the -ing form awkward and unnatural.

Intend is one of the many verbs that can be followed by an infinitive and not by a gerund : intend to do

verbs followed by gerunds and infinitives

I am sure you are right when you quote Longman dictionary, but I wouldn`t use intend going if I took part in an FCE examination, because the verb intend is on the list of the verbs followed by long infinitive verbs:

Cambridge Dictionaries Online - Cambridge University Press

Definition
intend Show phonetics
verb [T]
to have as a plan or purpose:
[+ to infinitive] We intend to go to Australia next year.
Somehow I offended him, which wasn't what I'd intended.
[+ object + to infinitive] I don't think she intended me to hear the remark.
