Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was conducted by North Ayrshire Council for the project titled "Hosting, Support & Maintenance of ROCC Core" in the services industry category. This contract involved supplying hosting, support, and maintenance services for the ROCC Core system in the UKM93 region, specifically at Irvine. The procurement reached the award and contract signing stage, with the contract status marked as active since 8 August 2025. The buyer, North Ayrshire Council, opted for a limited procurement method, citing technical reasons for the absence of competition, as only the incumbent supplier was capable of providing the needed services. The contract was awarded without a prior publication of a call for competition, with the total contract value recorded at £156,320.71 GBP.

This tender represents significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in IT infrastructure and support services, particularly those with expertise in legacy ICT systems management. Businesses that can offer specialised technology solutions or maintain existing systems under unique operational constraints will find themselves well-suited to compete for similar projects. Moreover, there is a potential for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to engage in niche markets involving bespoke technology services or cloud management, leveraging their agility and customised service offerings. This specific process highlights the importance of demonstrating technical capability to secure niche contracts from public sector buyers such as regional councils.
