Summary of the contracting process

Middlesbrough Council has completed a procurement process for the acquisition of an Arboriculture Management Software System, classified under software package and information systems (CPV: 48000000). The procurement was conducted via the G Cloud 14 Lot 2 framework as a direct award, without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was signed on 27th February 2026, with Kaarbon Technology Ltd selected as the supplier. The procurement method employed a limited procedure, as it fell outside the directive's application scope. The software system seeks to enhance the council's operational efficiency and management of arboricultural resources within the region UKC12.

This tender presents a growth opportunity for technology companies specialising in software solutions similar to arboriculture management systems. Large enterprises capable of offering robust software packages within the framework agreements, like G Cloud, would be well-suited to compete. Businesses with expertise in delivering customised information systems, particularly those with the capability for adaptability and extension in agreement terms, can leverage such government contract frameworks for expansion. By engaging in public procurement, technology firms can access significant contracts valued at £51,920, fostering business development and visibility within local government sectors across the United Kingdom.
