Grounds Maintenance System RFI

Notice Description

Grounds Maintenance System RFI

Lot Information

Lot 1

Fife Council is seeking to understand the market for modern Grounds Maintenance Solutions capable of supporting operational delivery, financial management, and performance monitoring. The existing system used within the Grounds Maintenance Service presents a number of challenges, including limited mobile functionality, reliance on manual processes, and constraints in reporting and system integration. The Grounds Maintenance Service has been using its current back-office system for a number of years to support key activities such as scheduling, asset management, and billing. The Council is therefore seeking input from suppliers to help inform its future requirements and shape a potential procurement approach. The Council is now seeking to explore alternative solutions available within the market that may better meet its current and future Grounds Maintenance requirements. A list of high-level requirements has been developed in collaboration with the service and the Council's IT Service. Potential Suppliers are invited to review these requirements and provide information on solutions that may be capable of meeting the Council's needs. The requirements identified by the Grounds Maintenance Service and IT Service are set out below. We would welcome responses from suppliers to support the Council in developing its understanding of the market and informing this Request for Information exercise. Additional information: This is a request for Information only.
