Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council procured environmental services software through the CX platform, an industry-specific software package (CPV 48100000). The requirement is to retain CX after environmental services recently migrated from the APP-Flare application, allowing the service area to continue delivering its services on the established platform. This is a software-based service rather than construction, equipment supply or general environmental consultancy. The buying organisation is Sheffield City Council, based in Sheffield. The stated delivery coverage includes the United Kingdom and a range of wider locations, including Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The procurement is categorised as a service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct award. Sheffield City Council selected Civica UK Ltd. The award date was 15 September 2026. The awarded value is £405,360, inclusive of the stated contract value, and the contract period runs from 30 September 2026 to 29 September 2028. The direct award reflects the requirement to retain the CX platform following the recent migration of environmental services from APP-Flare, supporting continuity of service delivery. The opportunity was not presented as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. There were no lots, and the award was made to one supplier.

This procurement indicates demand from Sheffield City Council for specialist software supporting environmental services, particularly where operational services have been migrated onto an established platform and continuity is important. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement would need a proven industry-specific software platform, experience supporting environmental-service workflows and the technical capability to maintain services after system migration. Credibility would also depend on demonstrating reliable platform support, service continuity and the ability to work with a local authority environment. The incumbent is a large software supplier, so competitors would need sufficient organisational capacity to provide sustained support at comparable scale. Experience integrating with or replacing existing public-sector applications would strengthen a supplier’s position when this type of requirement is next considered.
