UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames procured renewal of its Feature Manipulation Engine (FME) platform. The software supports hundreds of data formats and applications, provides transformation tools, and enables users to build and automate custom integration workflows without coding. The requirement covers use of FME to cleanse address data from multiple sources, including Revenues and Benefits and electoral registration data, so that cross-reference information held in other council systems remains current and consistent. This is a software support and renewal service delivered for the council in Kingston upon Thames, within the United Kingdom. It is relevant to suppliers providing FME licensing, support, data transformation and integration services for local government information systems.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. Dotted Eyes Ltd was selected for the single lot, and the contract was signed on 4 September 2026. The active contract runs from 4 September 2026 to 31 August 2030. Its value is £13,000 excluding VAT and £15,600 including VAT. The award covered software support services for the FME renewal. The requirement was evaluated and placed through a direct award route rather than an open tender. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The contract is currently active and the procurement record identifies the council as the buyer.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Kingston upon Thames for an established FME capability supporting address-data quality and integration across Revenues and Benefits, electoral registration and other council systems. Suppliers competing for comparable future work would need practical expertise in FME platform support, data cleansing, format transformation and automated integration workflows, preferably with the ability to work across multiple public-sector data sources. Credible providers would also need to understand how address and cross-reference data is maintained across linked local-authority systems, and how changes can be applied consistently without extensive manual coding. The award to Dotted Eyes Ltd shows that a specialist SME can deliver this type of software support requirement.
