Summary of the contracting process

Inverclyde Council recently completed a procurement process for the provision of annual support and maintenance for SWIFT and SAP Business Objects Licences. This contract, awarded to Civica UK Limited, falls under the services category within the information technology software maintenance sector. The procurement method was a direct award without prior publication, justified by the technical inability of competitors to fulfil the requirements. The contract is valued at £239,216.29 and is set to be delivered in Inverclyde. The award was finalised on 5th June 2026, marking this stage of the procurement process as complete.

This tender creates potential business growth opportunities for companies specialising in IT software maintenance, particularly those capable of bespoke handling of SWIFT and SAP Business Objects Licences. Although this contract utilised a limited procurement method with a direct award to Civica UK Limited, businesses in similar sectors can focus on demonstrating their technological advantages and building connections with local and regional authorities like Inverclyde Council. This can offer growth potential for companies aiming to secure future maintenance contracts within the public sector. Large-scale firms with a focus on niche areas in IT services may find similar opportunities advantageous for expanding their portfolios.
