This public procurement record has 1 release in its history.

Summary of the contracting process

South Lanarkshire Council has completed the award stage of the procurement process for the "Provision of a Sundry Debtors System," classified under the industry category of General Public Services. The system, which is critical for issuing and collecting invoices worth over GBP 100m annually, is already integrated within the Council's operations. Civica UK Limited, a large-scale supplier based in London, has been awarded the contract valued at approximately GBP 172,870.72. The contract was signed on 26th August 2024 and will last for five years with a possible extension of an additional five years. The procurement method was a limited award without prior publication, justified by the need for technical compatibility, ensuring the system remains seamlessly integrated with existing Council resources, located primarily in Hamilton, UKM95.

This tender presents excellent growth opportunities for businesses specialising in financial or public service software solutions, especially those capable of implementing or maintaining complex invoicing systems. With the integrated system's reliance on continuous support, companies offering complementary services or advanced technical solutions could establish long-term relationships with local councils and similar public sector organisations. Civica UK Limited's involvement suggests that large, technically specialised firms are well-suited for such projects, highlighting the need for strong technical expertise and the ability to manage large-scale financial operations effectively.
