This procurement falls under the industry category of 'Software package and information systems' and is located in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement process, which concluded on 22nd November 2024, employed a selective method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period is scheduled to start on 1st January 2025 and end on 31st December 2027. Key dates include the award date of 18th December 2024.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in software solutions for infrastructure and park management to expand their operations and showcase their expertise.

Through public procurement initiatives like this, businesses can bolster their growth by providing targeted technological solutions to municipal problems and securing long-term contracts. While Birmingham City Council primarily seeks large companies for such substantial projects, it is an excellent example of how public procurement can drive business expansion and innovation.
