Summary of the contracting process

North Lanarkshire Council has completed the procurement process for a Corporate Scanning solution, focusing on a Corporate Back-scanning Solution and Storage Requirements. This project aimed to reduce the costs of physical storage by maintaining physical files only where necessary, making information easily accessible electronically. The procurement process, conducted as an open procedure, falls under the general public services industry category. It initially began in the tender stage with key dates for submission ending on 5 December 2024, due to an extended timeframe. The contract, valued at £450,000, was signed on 4 April 2025, with Storetec Services awarded as the supplier. The procurement location is categorised within North Lanarkshire, under the region code UKM84.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses specialising in digital scanning and document management services. Small and medium enterprises like Storetec Services, which was awarded the contract, are well-suited to compete due to their capacity for specialised services in electronic back-scanning and digital storage. Businesses focusing on technological innovation and cost-effective document management solutions could benefit from similar future opportunities within public procurement frameworks, enhancing their growth and market presence by delivering essential services to regional or local authorities.
