Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "EBCT 443 Revenues & Benefits system" was handled by Erewash Borough Council, a regional authority located in Ilkeston, United Kingdom. This contract falls under the software package and information systems industry category. The procurement was a direct award using the RM6259 Vertical Access Solutions framework, without prior publication of a call for competition. The call-off period starts on 30th August 2027 and expires on 31st March 2029, with an initial period of 1 year and 7 months and an optional extension to 31st March 2030. Though the tender was at the award stage, the lot related to a Revenues and Benefits Management Solution was cancelled. The procurement was concluded with Civica UK Limited being awarded the contract, signed on 30th March 2026, valued at GBP 610,638.

This tender presents a strategic opportunity for large businesses specialising in software services geared towards public sector solutions. Although this particular lot was cancelled, the framework and procurement method demonstrate potential growth avenues for companies adept at meeting specific requirements in a restricted and competitive environment. It provides businesses with the chance to become involved in frameworks that fall outside standard regulatory scopes, potentially leading to further engagements and collaborations with local governmental bodies such as Erewash Borough Council.
