Summary of the contracting process

The City of York Council is engaging in a procurement process to establish a Commercial Property Platform, aimed at integrating property data, market analytics, and industry news for more informed real estate decisions. This initiative falls under the industry category of services, specifically targeting software packages and information systems, real estate services, and data services. The procurement stage is currently planning, with a request for information from potential suppliers due by 27 April 2026. The location for delivery is set in York, United Kingdom, under the region code UKE21. The anticipated contract period will commence on 25 May 2026 and conclude on 20 May 2029, with the value estimated at £40,000 GBP annually, treated as an Above-Threshold procurement.

This tender offers significant prospects for businesses specialising in analytics platforms, real estate solutions, and software information systems to expand their client base and contribute to public sector efficiency. Companies equipped with expertise in data integration, market analysis, and tech innovation would find this opportunity aligned with their service offerings. Given the platform's focus on improved decision-making through comprehensive data, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as the suitability criteria accommodate these types of organisations. The engagement further encourages demonstrations as part of its information-gathering phase, allowing businesses to showcase their bespoke solutions tailored to council needs.

Notice Title

Commercial Property Platform

Notice Description

The Council of the City of York (CYC) is seeking market information from suppliers who can provide an intelligence platform focused on commercial property markets, to bring together property data, market analytics, and industry news in one place so we can make more informed real estate decisions. This preliminary market engagement is being done as a Request for Information with the option for demonstrations at CYC's discretion. The anticipated value of the contract is below PS10,000 per annum. However, initial testing of the market indicates suppliers utilise auto-renewal clauses, Schedule 3 Paragraph 5 of PA23 applies and so this procurement is being treated as Above-Threshold.
