OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body (SPCB) recently concluded the procurement process for the Lobbying Register System, aiming to replace its current system with a new, cloud-based solution. This project fell under the 'goods' procurement category and utilised a competitive procedure with negotiation as the procurement method. The tender, designated with the ID SPCB-0471, covered the location of Edinburgh, UKM75, focusing on the industry category related to software development and data services (CPV 48000000). The planning phase commenced in 2025, leading to the award of the contract to Fortesium Ltd. on 26th September 2025. The project award marks the completion stage, and the SPCB has outlined a contract value of GBP 785,000.

This tender presented significant opportunities for companies specialising in IT and cloud services to expand their portfolio by engaging with a high-profile legislative organisation like the SPCB. Firms with expertise in creating cloud solutions that enhance legislative transparency and functionality could particularly benefit from such contracts. Medium-sized enterprises, given their agile structures and ability to provide tailored solutions, would find this tender especially fitting. The project's emphasis on system flexibility, and integrating contemporary web-based and data protection standards, positions it as an advantageous venture for businesses looking to leverage their technological prowess in the public sector.
