UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cheshire West and Chester Council is procuring an integrated public protection system covering public protection, building control, housing grants and home improvements. The requirement is for software and information systems, including the integration needed to support these connected council services. Delivery is for the council’s operations in Cheshire West and Chester, England. The buying organisation is Cheshire West and Chester Council, a sub-central public authority. This opportunity will suit technology suppliers that provide configurable or integrated systems for local government service areas, particularly platforms able to bring public protection, building control, housing grant administration and home improvement functions together in one operating environment. The procurement is classified as goods, although the requirement centres on an operational software system.

The council invited offers through an open procedure, and the process has reached tender. Bids were to be submitted electronically in English through The Chest by 11 September 2026 at 17:00. Enquiries closed on 2 September 2026 at 17:00, with award planned by 14 October 2026 at 23:59. The single lot has an estimated value of £315,000 excluding VAT, or £378,000 including VAT. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 November 2026 to 31 August 2031, with two optional 24-month extensions available and an ultimate end date of 31 August 2035. Evaluation is weighted 65% quality, 25% price and 10% social value. The opportunity is above the relevant threshold.

This opportunity suits software providers with capability in integrated local-government systems and the capacity to support several related service functions through one platform. Relevant expertise includes public protection, building control, housing grants and home improvements, together with system integration, data handling, configuration, implementation and ongoing operational support. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate a coherent solution rather than a standalone application for only one service area. The council identifies the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so organisations of those types are encouraged to assess their fit. Strong technical and service quality will be commercially important because quality carries the greatest evaluation weighting, while social value commitments also form part of the assessment.
