Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the support and maintenance of the SWIFT system is initiated by Fife Council, located in Glenrothes, UK. This tender, titled "Support and Maintenance of SWIFT," falls under the computer support services category and has been classified as a service contract. The procurement method employed is a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, citing that OLM Systems Ltd is the only supplier able to provide the necessary support due to the technical nature of the requirements. The contract value is £261,070 and was officially signed on 1st April 2022.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses engaged in specialised IT support services, particularly those with the expertise in maintaining integrated financial systems like SWIFT. Companies that can demonstrate technical proficiency and a solid understanding of the operational needs of such systems would be well-suited to pursue similar contracts. Given that the procurement was limited to a single supplier due to the technical constraints, future opportunities may arise in adjacent areas where competition is feasible, potentially benefiting small and medium enterprises in the technology sector.
