Summary of the contracting process

North Hertfordshire District Council (NHDC) is currently in the planning stage of procuring an Electoral Management System (EMS) to enhance the administration of Electoral Services within their jurisdiction. This pre-procurement market engagement aims to gather insights into the current market capabilities for a comprehensive EMS. The procurement process, initiated on 24 October 2024, and involves a market engagement period ending on 24 January 2025. The procurement falls under the industry-specific software category, specifically targeting systems capable of managing Individual Electoral Registration, the property database, the annual canvass, election candidate management, election planning, and election materials printing. The system should potentially offer cloud-based solutions and integrate with other systems such as Committee Management and Print suppliers. Delivery is expected in Hertfordshire, particularly within the SG6 3JF postal code range.

This tender provides a significant growth opportunity for businesses specialising in software packages, particularly those focused on electoral and government software solutions. Companies with experience in developing industry-specific software packages and integration with existing systems will find this procurement particularly relevant. The ability to offer cloud-based (SaaS) solutions will be an advantage. The pre-procurement exercise allows suppliers to influence the final specifications and showcase their capabilities through the Supply Hertfordshire Portal. Businesses must be registered on the portal to respond to the opportunity and should consider the requirements specified by NHDC to position themselves as competitive candidates for this procurement.
