Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Corporate Scanning" was completed by North Lanarkshire Council, a regional or local authority located in North Lanarkshire, with the goal of implementing a Corporate Back-scanning Solution and Storage Requirements. This falls under the industry category of "Scanning services" as defined by CPV code 79999100. The process, conducted through an open procurement method, progressed from the tender stage, which included an active status phase noted on 29 October 2024, to a successful contract being awarded in June 2025. The procurement was targeted at the UKM84 region in North Lanarkshire with capital funding provided for the 2021/2022 and 2022/2023 financial years. The winning bidder, Storetec Services, was awarded the contract valued at £450,000, with the contract signed on 4 April 2025.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in digital information management, especially those offering high-quality scanning services. The structured approach, favouring a mix of technical quality and cost-effectiveness (40% quality and 60% price in awarding criteria), makes it appealing for both established companies and small to medium enterprises like Storetec Services. Firms with the capability to support the electronic accessibility, secure storage, and efficient retrieval of archived materials would find this tender particularly lucrative. The completion of this project could lead to an extended contract and further collaborations with the council, presenting growth prospects for businesses committed to innovation in digital archiving solutions.
