Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk Coastal District Council and Waveney District Council’s housing, environment and planning software contract covers servicing and compliance deliverables, plus customer relationship management (CRM) support and maintenance. The procurement title refers to Great Yarmouth Borough Council, while the named buyer is Suffolk Coastal District Council and Waveney District Council; the contract is described as housing, environment and planning solutions. The work is software services, including industry-specific software (CPV 48100000). Delivery is identified as being in the East of England. The variation adds servicing and compliance work and extends CRM support and maintenance across the full contract term, building on the existing software contract.

The contract has been awarded to NEC Software Solutions UK Ltd. The award date was 7 October 2026, and the contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2031. This is a contract variation to an existing agreement, originally placed by direct award through Lot 3 of the RM6259 Vertical Application Solutions Framework. The variation is valued at £185,822: £155,822 for the additional servicing and compliance deliverables and £30,000 for additional CRM support and maintenance. The revised contract value, including the variation, is £1,216,157; the original award value was £1,030,335. The original procurement was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

The award indicates demand from these councils for an integrated housing, environment and planning software solution, with ongoing CRM support and maintenance and the ability to deliver servicing and compliance functionality. Suppliers competing for a comparable requirement would need to demonstrate relevant public-sector software capability and the resources to support a live system throughout a multi-year contract. The requirement was routed through a government application-solutions framework, so framework access and experience delivering call-offs would be commercially relevant. The procurement was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that the buyer expected a supplier with sufficient scale and delivery capacity. The selected supplier was NEC Software Solutions UK Ltd.
