The contract, awarded on 12 June 2025, was procured through a selective method with a call-off from a framework agreement. The software package, which falls under the industry category of software package and information systems, will be delivered in South East, United Kingdom. The contract will be in effect from 4 July 2025 to 3 July 2028. This procurement process was initially initiated during the tender stage, and the buyer provided a tender opportunity suitable for SMEs. The main contact point at the buying organisation is Nicholas Baxter, reachable at the Civic Centre, ST ALBANS, England.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for software providers specialising in information systems, particularly those targeting municipal clients. The opportunity is well-suited for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can deliver reliable cemetery management systems aligning with the council's requirements. Businesses with established expertise in delivering software solutions within frameworks would be strongly positioned to compete for similar contracts in the future.
