Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Borders Council procured a cloud-based cemetery management software solution. The requirement is for a software service supporting the council’s cemetery management activities, rather than physical works or the supply of equipment. The buyer is Scottish Borders Council, a local authority headquartered in Newtown St Boswells. The service is associated with the Scottish Borders area. The procurement was classified under CPV 72000000, covering information technology services, including consultancy, software development, internet and support services. The requirement was organised as a single service lot. It indicates a public-sector software opportunity for providers able to deliver and support a cemetery management platform through the cloud, with the system meeting the operational needs of a local authority cemetery service.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Scottish Borders Council used an open procedure, with the award made against the GCA G Cloud 14 framework (RM1557.14). The single lot was awarded to GSS NI t/a PlotBox. The contract value is £96,047.50 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract was signed on 27 July 2026 and is recorded as active. One bid was received for the lot; the published statistics record no bid from an SME and one bid from outside the EU. The available outcome data does not set out a separate quality, price or weighting breakdown. The procurement covered the supply of the cemetery management cloud solution for the council.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from a Scottish local authority for specialist cemetery management software delivered as a cloud service. Suppliers considering similar work for Scottish Borders Council would need a credible platform that supports cemetery-service operations, together with the implementation, hosting, maintenance and user support expected of a local-government software service. The successful supplier, GSS NI t/a PlotBox, shows that a focused cemetery-management software provider can meet this type of requirement. The route also matters commercially: the purchase was made through the GCA G Cloud 14 framework, so future competitors would need to understand that framework route and be capable of supplying through it. The opportunity is best suited to established public-sector technology suppliers with relevant cemetery software experience.
