Summary of the contracting process

Middlesbrough Council has recently concluded a procurement process for the renewal of the Tranman System, a fleet management software, under the industry category of software packages and information systems. The procurement process, identified as ESC019_2026, involved a limited procurement method, specifically a direct award through the CCS VAS RM3821 Framework, which did not necessitate a prior call for competition. This contract, valued at GBP 37,691.98, was awarded to Civica, and officially signed on 27 May 2026. The procurement, tagged as both award and contract, is now complete, and related activities have been primarily situated around Middlesbrough in the UKC12 region.

This procurement presents opportunities for businesses specialising in software solutions, especially those adept at managing fleet systems and those with existing framework agreements. Businesses seeking growth could leverage similar opportunities by tailoring their offerings to meet the specific needs of this public sector category. The successful contractor, Civica, a large-scale supplier based in London, serves as an example for other software providers looking to expand their footprint within the public sector through strategic positioning and framework inclusions like the CCS VAS RM3821.
