Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire Dales District Council procured software licensing and support for its Gazetteer Management System, Development Control, Building Control, Planning and Land Charges functions. The requirement covers Idox Uniform Software and Idox Enterprise Software, classified as software packages and information systems (CPV 48000000). The services are intended for the council’s operations in the East Midlands, with the buying organisation based in Matlock. This is a public-sector planning, property and regulatory software requirement rather than a general IT support contract. Relevant suppliers are software providers, implementation partners and support specialists able to deliver and maintain systems used for gazetteer management, development and building control, planning administration and land-charge services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Idox Software Ltd on 18 August 2026. The award value is £135,002.02, and the contract runs from 31 October 2026 to 30 October 2029. The tender submission deadline was 1 July 2026 at 12:00. Derbyshire Dales District Council used a selective call-off from the Crown Commercial Service RM6259 Vertical Applications Solutions framework, Lot 3 for housing, environmental and planning solutions, without reopening competition. The award was evaluated through that framework call-off route. One supplier is identified for the requirement. The contract is categorised as services and the opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, although participation was through an existing framework rather than an open competition.

This award signals established demand from Derbyshire Dales District Council for integrated software supporting gazetteer management, planning, development control, building control and land charges. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need proven public-sector software covering these functions, together with reliable licensing, technical support and the capacity to sustain several connected regulatory services for a district council. Experience with planning and land-charge workflows, system configuration, data management, user support and service continuity would be commercially relevant. Suppliers should also understand how to sell through a public-sector framework and meet the requirements of a framework call-off without relying on a new open tender. The stated SME suitability indicates that smaller specialist providers may be well placed where they can demonstrate comparable capability and support capacity.
