Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council has completed the procurement process for its Electoral Services Software, covering both electoral registration and election management, along with a mobile canvassing application. This procurement falls within the software package and information systems category, specifically targeting the East Midlands region in the United Kingdom. The procurement was executed using an open procedure above the monetary threshold, with the final contract awarded on 31 March 2026, following a tender period that concluded on the same day. The contract period will extend from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2030. Nottingham City Council initiated this tender on behalf of the buyer, with Sana Iqbal as the point of contact.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth in sectors dealing with software solutions for electoral management. The contract was awarded to CIVICA UK LIMITED, a large-scale supplier, indicative of the potential scale of this project which encompasses software development, regular maintenance, and hosting services. Businesses specialising in software packages, particularly those with experience in governmental contracts, can consider entering similar tenders in the future as this procurement reflects substantial demand within the public sector for specialised software systems. Although not particularly suited for SMEs or VCSEs, larger enterprises in IT systems and software solutions should find this domain advantageous for expanding their market presence.
