Summary of the contracting process

Southampton City Council has successfully concluded a procurement process for the "Replacement for Project Online" software, classified under the software package and information systems industry category. The contract was awarded on 16th March 2026 to Icotech Group Ltd for an amount of £42,750. The contract, which forms part of a call-off from a framework agreement, was selective in nature and targets software provision services. The delivery will take place at the council's location in Southampton, with the contract period spanning from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027. The procurement process has now reached the 'Award' stage, following the conclusion of the tender period earlier on 13th March 2026.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses, particularly SMEs involved in software development and business consulting services. The procurement process, designed as a call-off from a framework agreement, highlights the advantage of being part of pre-approved provider lists, which can expedite the selection process. Companies that focus on software solutions and have the capability to integrate with other IT services are particularly well-suited to compete in similar future procurements, especially those looking to expand within the public sector. Being engaged in such contracts could also provide a stepping stone for SMEs to establish strong relationships with local government buyers.
