Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, titled "File-Aid," was conducted by HM Land Registry, based in Croydon, England. Classified under the industry category of "Software package and information systems," this contract follows a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender, completed via the CCS Competed RM6100 Technology Services 3, Lot 3c, commenced on 1 April 2023 and spans until 31 March 2026. The award notice was published on 30 March 2023, with the contract valued at £559,567 and postal code CR0 2AQ as the delivery address. Despite being complete, the process recently underwent an award update on 18 March 2026.

With its focus on software packages and systems, this tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in technology services, particularly those equipped to deliver high-value solutions within framework agreements. Large-scale companies are best suited to engage, as evidenced by the awarding to SPECIALIST COMPUTER CENTRES PLC. The non-suitability for SMEs and VCSE entities indicates a preference for well-established enterprises capable of supporting high-demand software projects. The procurement framework structure can significantly benefit firms aiming to expand their footprint in governmental contracts and technology implementation.
