Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Buckinghamshire Council procured a licensing platform solution to support its licensing team. The service covers the submission and processing of licensing applications, notices, complaints and investigations, together with issuing licences. This is a public-sector software and information-systems service, rather than a one-off supply of packaged software. The buyer is Buckinghamshire Council, with the contracting organisation based at The Gateway, Gatehouse Road, Aylesbury. The service is associated with the council’s licensing operations and is intended to provide the systems and functionality needed to manage the full licensing workflow, from receiving applications and notices through assessment, investigation and final licence issue. The procurement was classified under CPV 48000000, covering software packages and information systems.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Arcus Global Limited on 31 July 2026. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2030. The tender submission deadline was 31 July 2026 at 12:00, and the recorded procurement method was “Other”. The award value is recorded as £0. The award is active, with the same four-year period. Buckinghamshire Council selected a single supplier for the licensing platform service. The evaluation concerned the council’s requirement for software supporting licensing applications, notices, complaints, investigations and licence issue. The opportunity was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award indicates demand for an end-to-end licensing management platform within a local authority, covering both customer-facing submissions and internal regulatory processing. A credible future competitor would need a mature software product that can handle licensing applications, notices, complaints, investigations and licence issuance in one connected workflow. The platform would need to support council licensing teams across varied case types, maintain reliable records and provide processes suitable for regulated decision-making. Relevant suppliers are likely to be established public-sector or regulatory-software specialists with the product capacity, implementation capability and operational resilience to support a council service over a multi-year period. The stated suitability assessment means smaller businesses may need substantial capacity or a delivery partnership to compete effectively.
