UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Tyneside Borough Council procured a pension and finance system as a software supply service. The requirement covers provision of the system supporting the council’s pension and finance activity. The buying organisation is South Tyneside Borough Council, based in South Shields. Delivery is for South Tyneside in the North East of England. The procurement is categorised as services, with the supplied software forming the central element of the requirement. This is a council-specific public sector technology requirement rather than a general hardware supply opportunity. Suppliers with relevant software products, implementation capability and experience supporting pension and finance functions would be the closest commercial match.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It was handled as a single lot. PUBLIC SECTOR LIVE LIMITED was awarded the contract, which is active. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026 and runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2031. Its value is £75,000 excluding VAT and £90,000 including VAT. The successful supplier is Public Sector Live Limited. The evaluation route was a limited competition rather than an open tender. The published outcome identifies software supply services for the pension and finance system, with South Tyneside Borough Council as the buyer and the work delivered in South Tyneside.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for a public authority to source and maintain software serving pension and finance functions over a multi-year contract. It is relevant to software vendors and service providers able to supply systems for public sector financial administration, pension-related processes or both. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a product that can support council operations, reliable implementation and ongoing service over an extended period. Experience working with public authorities would help demonstrate understanding of governance, security, data handling and operational continuity, although the procurement record does not identify particular accreditations or technical standards. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that specialist smaller technology businesses can compete for this type of council system requirement.
