Summary of the contracting process

North Ayrshire Council has completed a procurement process for the "Provision of Civica System including Licences, Support and Maintenance" to enhance legacy IT systems. The process concluded with a contract award to Civica UK Limited on 4th March 2025 at an initial value of £58,309.20. The contract was later modified on 23rd June 2025 to incorporate additional system developments and increased storage costs, raising the total contract value to £83,309.20. This procurement, classified under "License management software development services" (CPV 72212218), was conducted through a limited procurement method, specifically an award without a prior call for competition, due to the absence of technical competition. The project location is identified as UKM93, linked to the buyer's region in Irvine, United Kingdom.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in software development and IT services, particularly those specialising in licence management and system maintenance. Large-scale suppliers like Civica UK Limited have been involved, indicating opportunities for providers with similar capabilities. Companies with expertise in enhancing and maintaining legacy systems, along with those that can offer unique technical solutions without prevalent competition, are well-positioned to compete in similar tenders in the future. Businesses looking to expand their portfolio in regional public sector contracts, especially IT services, may find fertile opportunities by monitoring similar procurement activities from regional authorities like North Ayrshire Council.
