Summary of the contracting process

The Telford & Wrekin Council is initiating a procurement process for the "Planning & Building Control IT Software Application" aimed at enhancing its software capabilities. Currently in the planning stage, the council is conducting market research to identify potential suppliers who can develop or provide applications matching or exceeding the functionality of their existing MIS Headway software, which they have utilised since 2010. Interested vendors must submit their expressions of interest by 15th February 2019, as the tender will be formally released following these discussions. The procurement falls under the software package and information systems category, with an estimated contract value ranging from £50,000 to £100,000, and is established through an open procurement method.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for software development firms, particularly small or medium enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in IT solutions and services related to planning and building control. Businesses capable of supporting legacy systems and migrating to modern platforms will find ample room for growth through this contract. The Telford & Wrekin Council is keen to engage suppliers who can offer functionalities that not only improve their current operations but also introduce innovative software solutions, making this an attractive prospect for tech companies looking to showcase their capabilities.

Notice Title

GB-Telford: Planning & Building Control IT Software Application

Notice Description

Telford & Wrekin Council are intending to go to competition within the next couple of months for planning and building control software development. Prior to this the Council is undertaking Market Research to gain knowledge on what can be achieved, with timescales and indicative costs to enable a tender to be delivered. We are looking for suppliers who have an application, or can develop an application, that can offer at least the same level of functionality as we have at the moment and who is prepared to discuss with Telford to further develop and improve the software so that Telford can continue to lead the way in Planning and Building Control. In 2010 Telford & Wrekin Council implemented MIS Headway planning and building control software, which it had developed in collaboration with MIS LGS Ltd. The software was cutting edge, streamlining business processes and implementing new legislation in a functional manner. It was developed to handle a complete paperless environment, something which the council was one of the first to implement. It has proved to be a stable product and even now is still a well specified and feature rich application. Telford's aspiration is to move away from legacy systems to new supportable platforms and using latest technologies. We want to enhance existing functionalities, develop new, improve areas of weaknesses whilst ensuring longevity. So we would like to take the majority of the current functionality, improve it where required, and ensure that it is in a newer programming language/platform to ensure it can continue to be used and supported in the future. Telford has always been a driver in the planning and building control environment when it comes to system software and is something which dates back since the 90's. It has constantly pushed the boundaries with system development and has been a leader in doing so. Today, Telford is recognised for that. We are looking to research and discuss future possibilities with suppliers in the next few weeks. If you are interested in being part of these discussions please contact Linda Blackwell linda.blackwell@telford.gov.uk and also add your contact details to the Response Box by 15th February 2019 so that we can agree a date/time for you to come to Telford to talk about what you could offer Telford, including demonstrations/presentations as appropriate. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. Please ensure that you allow yourself at least 2 hours when responding to this invite prior to the closing date and time, especially if you have to upload multiple documents. If you are uploading multiple documents you will have to individually load one document at a time or you can opt to zip all documents in an application like WinZip
