Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body (SPCB) has completed the procurement process for a new Lobbying Register System, intended to replace the existing framework. This contract, under the category of software package and information systems (CPV 48000000), encompasses the supply, hosting, maintenance, and support of a cloud-based online system. The awarded contract, valued at £785,000, was assigned to Fortesium Ltd., with the final agreement signed on 26 September 2025. The process, guided by the procurement method of a competitive procedure with negotiation, involved a selective approach targeting suitable vendors, particularly SMEs. This project was carried out in the UK, at The Scottish Parliament, Edinburgh (region UKM75), and aligns with the industry's evolving requirements under the Lobbying (Scotland) Act 2016.

This initiative opens up notable opportunities for IT and software companies specialising in cloud-based solutions and system integration. Firms equipped with experience in database management systems, web accessibility compliance, and cybersecurity will find themselves well-positioned to compete for similar opportunities in the future. By fostering competitive tenders, such projects encourage innovation and the potential for vendors to expand their horizons within the public sector. The procurement highlights fair work practices, sustainability, and community benefits, making it a fitting match for businesses aiming to contribute positively towards these values while building robust client relationships with legislative bodies.
