Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Somerset Council procured a building safety levy system, classified as software and information systems. The service is intended to support the council’s administration of the building safety levy, with delivery in Taunton, Somerset. This is a technology services requirement rather than a construction project or physical works contract. The buying organisation is Somerset Council, based at County Hall in Taunton. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It was procured as a service through the council’s access to the CCS/GCA GCloud 14 framework, indicating a need for a supplier able to provide and support a public-sector software system for building safety levy administration.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Somerset Council used a selective call-off from the CCS/GCA GCloud 14 framework (RM1557.14), rather than an open competition. The tender deadline was 1 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 10 September 2026 to Exacom Systems Ltd for £80,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 13 September 2027. The procurement had a total estimated value of £80,000. The published process identifies the main category as services and the subject classification as software and information systems. No lot structure or separate evaluation weighting is recorded in the procurement details.

This award provides a clear indication of Somerset Council’s demand for specialist software and information systems supporting building safety levy administration. A credible competitor for similar work would need to demonstrate the ability to deliver a complete public-sector technology service, including a system suited to levy-related processes and the council’s operational requirements. Experience supplying councils or other public bodies through a recognised technology framework would be commercially relevant, as would evidence of reliable implementation, user support, data handling and service continuity. The requirement was suitable for SMEs, and the appointed supplier is itself an SME, showing that the scale and route can be accessible to smaller technology businesses with a focused public-sector offering.
