Summary of the contracting process

Nottinghamshire County Council procured annual renewal of its MasterGov County Planning software service for delivery in the East Midlands. The requirement covers county planning, planning enforcement and site monitoring, supported by a real-time online register, GIS integration and an alert and reminder agent. It also includes 16 concurrent user licences and three Trapeze Plan Manager licences. This is a software and information systems service, delivered as a call-off under the RM6259 Vertical Application Solutions framework. The requirement supports the council’s planning administration and monitoring activities through an integrated digital platform.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to DEF Software Limited on 4 May 2026. The awarded value is £74,729.70 including the stated currency, against an estimated procurement value of £76,815. The contract runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2029. The tender submission deadline was 2 March 2026 at 23:59 UTC. It was conducted as a call-off under the RM6259 Vertical Application Solutions framework, with Nottinghamshire County Council as buyer. The procurement was classified as a services requirement and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier is DEF Software Limited.

This award demonstrates recurring demand from Nottinghamshire County Council for a specialist planning-management platform rather than a general software supply contract. A credible future competitor would need to provide or support county planning, enforcement and site-monitoring workflows, together with a live public register, GIS integration and automated alerts or reminders. Capability to administer concurrent-user licensing and Trapeze Plan Manager licences would be directly relevant. Suppliers should be able to deliver an integrated service for a local authority’s planning operations, maintain the platform throughout a multi-year service period and demonstrate reliable support for operational users. Framework access through RM6259 would also be relevant to competing by the same route.
