Summary of the contracting process

Northumberland County Council has recently completed the procurement process for the "Civica App, Support Licence and Maintenance" related to the Public Protection Electronic Management System. This procurement, classified under the software package and information systems industry category, was centred in the North East of the United Kingdom. Utilising a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement, the contract was awarded to CIVICA UK LIMITED, a large-scale organisation, on 18 March 2026. The contract period spans from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2028, with a total contract value of £92,386 GBP. The tender stage transitioned from planning to award, emphasising service procurement suited for small and medium enterprises over voluntary, community, and social enterprises.

This tender presents potential growth opportunities for SMEs focused on software development and management systems, particularly those capable of delivering support and maintenance for electronic management systems. Businesses with expertise in software packages, information systems, and public protection systems may find this an ideal opportunity to collaborate with Northumberland County Council. While CIVICA UK LIMITED has been awarded the contract, the project's framework agreement approach suggests future opportunities for similar engagements. Being well-versed in selective procurement methods and maintaining robust support infrastructure can leverage businesses into the public sector market effectively.
