Summary of the contracting process

Staffordshire County Council procured project management software for its property surveying service. The requirement arose because property surveyors were transferring from Entrust to the council and needed software already identified as essential to their work. The purchase is for a software package rather than surveying staff, construction works or consultancy. Delivery is for use in the United Kingdom. The council is the public-sector buyer and the selected supplier is Hubexo North UK Ltd, a large commercial software business based in Newcastle upon Tyne. The product classification describes project management software, indicating a requirement for a digital system to support the planning, organisation and management of property surveying activity. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Hubexo North UK Ltd received the active award for the requirement. The contract was signed on 24 August 2026 and runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £49,776 excluding VAT, or £59,731.20 including VAT. The procurement was below the applicable threshold, with the method recorded as unknown. It was conducted under the Procurement Act 2023. The tender comprised one completed lot. The available outcome records identify the supplier and contract, but do not set out award weightings or other evaluation criteria. This is a completed purchase rather than an invitation to submit a bid.

This procurement is relevant to suppliers of project management software used in property surveying and related professional services. It shows Staffordshire County Council has an established need for a specialist digital system when property surveying functions move into council control. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide software capable of supporting property surveyors’ operational work, demonstrate that it is suitable for essential business use, and deliver a dependable commercial software service to a public authority. The selected supplier’s profile indicates that the buyer accepted a large commercial provider for this requirement, so suppliers should be able to support organisational users at comparable scale and work through a below-threshold public procurement route. Experience supplying councils or similar property teams would strengthen a future case.
