Provision of Civica System including Licences, Support and Maintenance

NORTH AYRSHIRE COUNCIL

This public procurement record has 1 release in its history.

Summary of the contracting process

North Ayrshire Council has awarded a contract for the provision of the Civica System, including necessary licences, support, and maintenance, commencing on 1st April 2026, and concluding on 31st March 2027. This contract, valued at GBP 61,224.67, reflects the requirement of a legacy ICT system that only the incumbent supplier can maintain due to technical reasons. Located in Irvine, region UKM93, the council acts as the central purchasing body, overseeing the award process. This procurement, classified under general public services, is in the award stage, adhering to a limited procurement method without prior publication due to the absence of competition, specifically tailored for services in the relevant industry category.

The contract presents an opportunity for organisations specialising in ICT systems and software maintenance to understand the ongoing needs of public sector entities, offering insights into managing complex legacy systems. However, as it is a single tender action based on technical reasons, primarily benefiting the incumbent supplier, Civica UK Limited, potential competitors and businesses seeking similar opportunities could focus on innovating solutions compatible with legacy systems or exploring niches within the public services sector. The limited procurement approach underscores the importance of niche specialisation, primarily benefiting large-scale suppliers with specific competencies in legacy ICT solutions.
