Summary of the contracting process

Dundee City Council has concluded a procurement process for the provision of a Library Management System by awarding the contract to Civica UK Limited. This contract was facilitated through a framework agreement, under Lot 4 of the CCS Framework RM6259, whereby a direct award procedure was followed without the need for prior publication of a competition call. The contract was signed on 12 March 2025 and is valued at £174,542. This contract falls within the category of 'goods', specifically targeting the public sector's general services. The procurement, completed in Dundee City, Scotland, is characterised by the direct involvement of regional or local authorities, as highlighted in the classifications. The most relevant stages reached were the award and contract, indicating the procurement process is complete.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses within the technology and software sectors, particularly those with expertise in providing IT solutions for public service operations. Although Civica UK Limited, a large-scale enterprise, was awarded the contract, small and medium enterprises can also benefit by positioning themselves as potential subcontractors or collaborators. This tender is especially lucrative for businesses offering similar vertical application solutions, as it reflects a preference for suppliers who can seamlessly integrate sophisticated management systems into existing public frameworks. Proximity to Dundee City and an understanding of local authority operations could also be advantageous for businesses looking to expand their portfolio through such public contracts.
