Summary of the contracting process

Luton Council procured software services to manage high-rise building safety cases. The requirement is for RiskFlag, a centralised repository for managing building safety cases, supporting the council’s building-safety information and risk-management activities. This is a specialist information technology and software service, covering software development, support and related IT capability (CPV 72000000). Delivery is for Luton Council in England. The procurement is relevant to software providers with a product or service for organising, maintaining and managing building safety case information, particularly suppliers able to provide a central system rather than a standalone consultancy or one-off document production service. The buyer is Luton Council, based at Town Hall, George Street, Luton.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective restricted procedure. The tender submission deadline was 4 September 2026 at 12:00. RiskFlag Ltd was selected for the contract on 7 September 2026, at an awarded value of £55,590. The tender described a contract period from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, while the award records the contract period as 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2030. The procurement was classified as services and identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It was structured as a single requirement for the RiskFlag system and centralised management of building safety cases. The award is active, with Luton Council as buyer and RiskFlag Ltd as supplier.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Luton Council for a specialist system that centralises high-rise building safety cases. It is relevant to software companies providing building-safety, compliance, risk-management or structured information-management platforms, especially those able to support an end-to-end repository rather than isolated consultancy work. A credible competitor would need a proven product for storing, organising and maintaining safety-case information, with dependable implementation and ongoing support capabilities. The requirement was considered suitable for an SME, indicating that delivery does not depend solely on the scale of a large technology integrator. Suppliers assessing comparable work should be able to explain how their system supports council users, maintains usable records and helps manage complex building-safety information consistently.
