Summary of the contracting process

Swale Borough Council procured annual maintenance for Exacom software used to manage Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) and Section 106 (S106) planning agreements. This is a software support and maintenance service within the wider category of software packages and information systems. The requirement supports the council’s planning agreement administration and is delivered for its operations in the South East of England. The named buyer is Swale Borough Council, based at Swale House in Sittingbourne, England. The work concerns an existing Exacom software environment rather than the supply of a general-purpose software platform, so relevant businesses are those able to maintain and support planning agreement software and its associated data and processes.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement, specifically G-Cloud 14. The award was made on 31 March 2026 to EXACOM SYSTEMS LTD. The awarded value is £24,161.66 including the stated GBP currency. The contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2028. The service is classified as a service procurement and was assessed as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off route, with the selected supplier providing the annual maintenance for the council’s Exacom planning agreement software.

This award indicates recurring demand from Swale Borough Council for specialist support of Exacom software used for CIL and S106 administration. A credible future competitor would need practical expertise in maintaining Exacom systems, supporting planning agreement workflows and keeping the software reliable for council users. Understanding how local authorities record, manage and monitor planning obligations would be important, as would the capacity to provide consistent annual support across the full service period. Businesses already experienced in public-sector software maintenance, planning services technology or council information systems are likely to be better placed than general software support providers. The procurement route also shows that access to the relevant framework can be commercially important.
