Summary of the contracting process

South Kesteven District Council procured the Civica APP software system, known as Flare, for use by its Environment and Public Protection Division. This is a software and information-systems requirement supporting the division’s operational work. The buying organisation is South Kesteven District Council, based in Grantham, and delivery is in the United Kingdom. The requirement covered one complete lot and concerned the provision of the Civica system rather than general information technology services. Businesses relevant to this requirement include software providers and implementation or support organisations with capability in public-sector environmental and public-protection systems, particularly solutions used by local authority teams to manage their operational responsibilities and information.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. CIVICA UK LIMITED was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 19 March 2026 and runs from 19 March 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £51,000 excluding VAT and £61,200 including VAT. The published outcome records the award as active and the contract as active. The requirement was evaluated through a limited competition under the applicable below-threshold route. The successful supplier is CIVICA UK LIMITED, a large UK-based company. The arrangement covers software package and information systems for South Kesteven District Council’s Environment and Public Protection Division.

This procurement shows demand from South Kesteven District Council for a dedicated software system serving environment and public protection functions. Suppliers seeking to compete when a similar requirement returns would need a credible local-authority software product, with functionality suited to the division’s operational casework, information management and regulatory responsibilities. They would also need to demonstrate that their system can be implemented and supported reliably for a council environment, with sufficient organisational capacity to maintain the service throughout the contract. CIVICA UK LIMITED’s selection indicates that established suppliers with public-sector software capability, relevant product experience and the resources to provide dependable ongoing support are well placed for this requirement.
