Summary of the contracting process

HM Land Registry procured maintenance and support for its contact centre systems. The requirement is a technology services contract covering the operational support and ongoing maintenance needed to keep contact centre technology functioning effectively. It is classified as software programming and consultancy services and falls within the broader services category. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is HM Land Registry, a national public body responsible for registering land and property interests in England and Wales. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that businesses of this scale may be relevant when comparable contact centre support requirements return to the market.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from the CCS Technology Services 3 framework, Lot 3a Operational Services – End User Services. Bids closed on 21 June 2024 at 5pm. HM Land Registry awarded the contract to Softcat Plc on 2 August 2024. The awarded value is £1,999,536.52, against an estimated procurement value of £3,300,000 and a minimum estimated value of £992,731.14, all excluding any stated currency conversion. The contract runs from 14 October 2024 to 14 July 2027. A nine-month extension was invoked as part of the requirement. The process used a framework call-off route rather than an open tender.

This award demonstrates sustained public-sector demand for suppliers able to maintain and support contact centre systems at substantial organisational scale. Relevant competitors would need practical capability in operational technology services, end-user support and the maintenance of software and associated contact centre environments. Experience of delivering dependable support for a public body, managing service continuity and resolving technology issues would help establish credibility. Businesses seeking comparable work should also assess whether they can access and operate through the relevant technology services framework route, or partner with a framework supplier. The requirement is explicitly suitable for SMEs, so a specialist smaller provider with the right technical delivery capability may be well placed for future opportunities from HM Land Registry.
