Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council is planning to procure services to identify, recommend and implement an integrated digital solution covering strategic and service-level planning, performance management, risk management and internal audit follow-up. The system will manage related actions across the organisation, support continuous improvement and improve reporting and decision-making. It is also intended to support statutory compliance with the council’s performance management and risk management policies and strategies, as well as internal audit requirements. This is an organisation-wide digital transformation service for Fife Council, whose headquarters and operational base for the procurement are in Glenrothes. The work falls within information technology services, including software implementation and associated professional support, rather than the supply of standalone hardware or a narrowly focused risk tool.

This process is at the planning stage: Fife Council has announced an intention to procure, but has not yet invited tenders. The council expects a future procurement notice on 2 November 2026; this is an indicative publication date, not a deadline for responses. The planned procurement is for services and is expected to be conducted as a single lot under an open public procurement route. The subject is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The evaluation is expected to focus on the effectiveness and suitability of an integrated solution for planning, performance, risk management and internal audit follow-up, together with its ability to support compliance, reporting, continuous improvement and better service delivery. The planned scope includes both recommending and implementing the selected solution.

This will suit software providers and implementation partners with experience delivering integrated corporate management platforms for public sector or similarly complex organisations. Relevant capability includes strategic and service planning, performance reporting, enterprise risk management, internal audit action tracking, workflow, management information and configurable reporting. Suppliers should be able to connect these functions within one coherent system and support adoption across an organisation, rather than offering an isolated risk register or audit product. Strong candidates will be able to demonstrate implementation, configuration, integration, training and ongoing support for council-wide users, with an understanding of statutory compliance, governance and continuous improvement. Businesses should use the planning period to assess how their platform addresses the combined requirements and prepare evidence of comparable organisation-wide deployments, reporting improvements and support for informed decision-making.
