Summary of the contracting process

Uttlesford District Council commissioned consultancy to support implementation of a new asset management system for repairs and maintenance. The work concerns software implementation advice and related asset-management consultancy, rather than the purchase of software alone. Delivery is in the East of England. The requirement was placed as a call-off from the Guinness Asset and Property Management Consultancy framework, linking the council’s software implementation need to an existing consultancy arrangement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Lumensol Ltd on 1 September 2026. The award value is £50,000. The contract period runs from 21 September to 20 December 2026. The council used a selective procedure, making a framework call-off. The competition deadline was 1 September 2026 at noon. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No award evaluation criteria are recorded in the process details.

This award shows Uttlesford District Council’s demand for specialist consultancy to implement repair and maintenance asset-management software, delivered through its Guinness Asset and Property Management Consultancy framework. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to demonstrate practical experience advising on and implementing asset-management systems in a property maintenance context, and the ability to work with a council to translate operational repair and maintenance needs into a functioning software solution. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that a smaller specialist consultancy was able to deliver the requirement. Suppliers should also be positioned to compete for framework call-offs, rather than relying only on open standalone tenders.
