Summary of the contracting process

DELT Shared Services Limited procured a registrars system for managing bookings for births, deaths and marriages, together with annual support and maintenance for a ceremony planner. This is software and information-systems work, covering the operational needs of registrars and ceremony services rather than general IT consultancy. The buying organisation is DELT Shared Services Limited, based in Plymouth. Delivery covers England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. Suppliers relevant to this requirement are software businesses able to provide a specialist registrars platform and maintain the associated ceremony-planning functionality across a geographically distributed public-service operation.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition as a below-threshold purchase. Stopford Information Systems Limited was selected as the supplier, and the contract was signed on 10 December 2025. The contract runs from 10 December 2025 to 9 December 2028. Its value is £23,109 excluding VAT, or £27,730 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement used a single lot. The requirement was treated as goods and classified under CPV 48000000 for software packages and information systems. The outcome indicates that the buyer chose a supplier through a non-competitive route, rather than assessing competing tenders against published award criteria.

For a supplier monitoring future demand from DELT Shared Services Limited, this award demonstrates a defined need for specialist public-sector registrar software rather than a one-off generic technology purchase. A credible competitor would need a working system for birth, death and marriage bookings, ceremony planning and the related support and maintenance service. The requirement also points to the need for dependable operational support across services delivered throughout England, with sufficient capacity to maintain a live platform over several years. Stopford Information Systems Limited is recorded as an SME, showing that the scale and specialism can be delivered by a smaller software provider. Relevant experience should therefore include registrar or civic-ceremony systems, reliable software maintenance and practical support for public authorities.
