It falls under the industry category of "Software package and information systems" with a gross value of £177,318 GBP, and the procurement is to be conducted online via Leicester City Council's e-tendering portal for properties located in the UK, specifically within the region UKF21.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software development and information systems, specifically those with expertise in property market solutions. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete, given the suitability criteria.
