The procurement was facilitated through the Government Commercial Agency Technology Products and Associated Services 2 (TePAS 2) Framework, Lot 3, using a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement stage is complete, with a contract period commencing on 13 July 2026 and concluding on 12 July 2029, following an end date of the tender period on 25 June 2026. The total contract value is £175,000, inclusive of GBP currency.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) could also benefit, as the procurement explicitly considers suitability for such entities. By enabling continuous access to necessary software for the council's operations, businesses involved in this procurement can leverage the opportunity to expand their capabilities and establish or reinforce their presence within the public sector.
