Summary of the contracting process

Ashford Borough Council procured a software and information system service for a Building Safety Levy System. The requirement was delivered in the South East of England and was intended to support the council’s building safety levy activities. It was described as a call-off contract from a framework agreement, so the work involved supplying or configuring a system within an established technology purchasing arrangement rather than a standalone construction project. The relevant market is therefore software providers and information-systems specialists with the ability to deliver public-sector systems for a local authority. The council was the buying organisation, based in Ashford, England.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender had an estimated value of £37,400, while the award value was £112,200. Ashford Borough Council awarded the contract to EXACOM SYSTEMS LTD on 15 July 2026. The awarded contract runs from 22 July 2026 to 30 July 2026. The tender submission deadline was 17 June 2026 at 10:00. The requirement was classified as services, with software packages and information systems as the relevant classification. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, but not for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award demonstrates demand from Ashford Borough Council for a specialist building safety levy system delivered through a public-sector framework. A competing supplier would need a credible software or information-systems capability focused on designing, supplying, configuring or supporting systems for local-government use. Experience of translating regulatory or levy-related requirements into reliable operational software would be relevant, as would the capacity to work within a framework call-off process and meet a council’s implementation and support expectations. The requirement’s stated SME suitability indicates that a smaller technology business could be well placed where it can demonstrate a suitable product, delivery capability and relevant public-sector or regulatory systems experience.
