Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council has completed the procurement process for the "PKC13190 LoCTA Hub Service" contract, classified under the general public services category. The procurement, handled by Kevin Fraser, is located in Perth, UK (region UKM77). The award stage was concluded with the contract being signed on 4th April 2025. The procurement method was a limited procedure, conducted without prior publication of a call for competition due to the unique nature of the LoCTA Hub service, which is critical for local authorities.

This tender creates opportunities for businesses involved in providing specialised software services, especially those targeting local government contracts. Given the specific and non-competitive nature of this procurement, companies with unique and niche solutions can find similar opportunities in the public sector. This tender was particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) capable of offering bespoke software services, as demonstrated by the successful award to LoCTA Ltd, an SME based in Stockport, UK.
