Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Westminster City Council procured implementation services for its Arcus Solution back-office applications covering planning, building control and licensing. The work includes implementing the system, providing two weeks of hypercare after implementation, and up to 30 days of development. This is local-authority software implementation work for council services, rather than the supply of a general-purpose IT system. Delivery is for Westminster City Council in London.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Arcus Global Limited. The contract was signed on 7 October 2026, with a value of £544,000. The council used a limited call-off from the G-Cloud 14 framework, without publishing a prior competition notice. The process had one lot, although that lot is marked cancelled in the tender data; the award and active contract are recorded for the requirement. The stated award criterion was price, and one bid was recorded. The contract covers implementation, two weeks of hypercare and up to 30 days of development; no contract period dates or duration are recorded.

For suppliers seeking comparable council work, this award demonstrates demand for implementation of specialist planning, building control and licensing back-office software, including post-launch support and a defined allowance for development. A credible competitor would need to show experience delivering this kind of local-authority system implementation, the technical ability to configure and integrate the relevant applications, and capacity to provide prompt hypercare and follow-on development. The route used was a call-off from G-Cloud 14, so suppliers would need to be positioned to compete through that framework when pursuing this buyer’s requirement. The award to an SME shows that a smaller specialist provider can deliver the work at this scale; price was the stated evaluation basis.
