Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames is procuring a property management database used to manage the council’s properties. The requirement is for industry-specific software, rather than general-purpose IT equipment or a property service. Delivery is associated with Kingston upon Thames, with the stated address postcode KT1 1EU. The procurement is categorised as goods. The system’s stated purpose is property management; no further functional scope is described. This purchase is relevant to suppliers of property management software and related database products, particularly those able to serve a local authority managing its own property portfolio.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Civica UK Ltd. The award was made on 25 September 2026, and the contract runs from 26 September 2026 to 25 September 2030. The awarded value is £96,346. The council used an open procedure. The original submission deadline was 31 August 2026. The requirement was presented as a single procurement for the database, with no separate lots recorded. The stated suitability flags indicate that the opportunity was not considered suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria are recorded, so the basis on which bids were compared cannot be described.

This award demonstrates demand from Kingston Council for software supporting the management of its property portfolio, at a scale evidenced by a single database contract. Civica UK Ltd, a large supplier, was selected, indicating that established capability in property-management software and the ability to deliver for a council are relevant competitive credentials. Suppliers considering comparable future requirements from this buyer would be best placed with a proven product suited to managing public property assets, a track record of implementation and support in a local-authority setting, and capacity to sustain the system over a multi-year contract. The procurement was run through an open procedure, so a credible competitor would also need to present a clear, complete offer against the council’s specified requirements.
