Summary of the contracting process

Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council procured a revenues and benefits software system and associated services for delivery in Rotherham. The requirement covers Civica Digital360, including the Universal Revenues and Benefits application, a document and case disposal module, data import functionality, a DFS image server, and licences for Ricoh fi-7800 A3 and Ricoh fi-8290 scanners. It also includes annual support, software licensing, maintenance and hosting. The procurement is categorised as software packages and information systems, covering a council revenues and benefits operation rather than general IT support or standalone scanning equipment. The selected supplier is Civica UK Limited, whose platform and related services provide the system, hosting and ongoing technical support for the council’s revenues and benefits processes.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council made a direct award to Civica UK Limited through the Government Commercial Agency’s Vertical Application Solutions Framework, RM6259, using a selective call-off procedure. The award date was 31 July 2026, following a tender deadline of 31 July 2026 at 5pm. The awarded value is £301,897. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2031. The award covers the full revenues and benefits system, scanner licences, image server, data import module, hosting, licensing, maintenance and annual support. The procurement record identifies the requirement as suitable for neither small and medium-sized enterprises nor voluntary, community and social enterprises. Civica UK Limited is the awarded supplier.

This requirement demonstrates sustained council demand for an integrated revenues and benefits platform supported over a multi-year term. Suppliers positioning for a future requirement with Rotherham would need a mature revenues and benefits application, document and case disposal capability, data import tools, image-server integration and compatibility with the specified Ricoh scanning environment. They would also need to provide dependable hosted service delivery, software licensing, maintenance and annual support as one managed offer. The incumbent’s position indicates that proven product capability and the ability to support a complete operational system are important. A credible competitor would therefore need relevant local-government revenues and benefits experience, strong implementation and data-migration capability, reliable service management, and sufficient organisational scale to maintain the platform and connected hardware throughout the service period.
