UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Halton Borough Council procured Exacom software to support its preparations for the Building Safety Levy. This is a software package and information systems requirement, categorised under CPV 48000000. The buyer is Halton Borough Council, based at the Municipal Building in Widnes. The awarded requirement concerns software rather than construction, building works or consultancy. The software is intended to help the council prepare for the levy, so relevant suppliers are those providing products with functionality applicable to building safety levy preparation and associated council information-management needs. The procurement covered one requirement, delivered for the council in the United Kingdom.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Halton Borough Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, and awarded the requirement to IDOX SOFTWARE LTD. The contract was signed on 12 August 2026 and runs from 12 August 2026 to 20 August 2029. Its value is £37,260 excluding VAT, or £44,712 including VAT. The process had one lot, which is complete, and the resulting contract is active. The published evaluation route was therefore a direct award rather than a competitive assessment, with no competition between bidders. IDOX SOFTWARE LTD is the selected supplier for the Exacom software requirement.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a public-sector requirement for software supporting Building Safety Levy preparation within a local authority. A credible future competitor would need a software product suited to this specific regulatory and administrative purpose, with the functionality required to help a council prepare for levy-related work. Relevant capability is therefore more important than general software supply: suppliers should be able to show a clear fit with building safety processes, dependable information handling and practical deployment for a borough council. Experience delivering comparable software to public authorities would strengthen credibility, as would the organisational capacity to support an active multi-year council contract.
