Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process entailed a direct award by Dartford Borough Council for the provision of Exacom Software, with the objective of monitoring CIL contributions and managing the new Building Safety Levy. This falls within the industry's specific software package category and is classified as goods. The purchase, conducted below threshold without competition, is linked to the region UKJ43 in Dartford, United Kingdom. Dartford Borough Council serves as the buying organisation, operationally located at Civic Centre, Home Gardens, Dartford, DA1 1DR. The procurement stage is complete, with key dates including the award notice published on 11 February 2026, and the contract period starting on 12 February 2026 and potentially extending until 30 September 2028.

This tender offers a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in industry-specific software, particularly those adept in managing contributions and levies within public authority frameworks. Small and medium-sized enterprises would be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders, given the preference for below threshold, direct procurement methods. As the contract allows for renewal contingent on the installation of the BSL module, innovative software companies that can ensure seamless integration of such modules may see potential growth opportunities. EXACOM SYSTEMS LTD, a small to medium-sized enterprise based in Colchester, has been awarded the contract, evidencing the council’s interest in engaging with smaller establishments.
