PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

East Ayrshire Council is seeking a consultant to carry out a comprehensive review of its current housing management and repairs ICT systems. The work is intended to support robust, evidence-based decisions about future housing services system requirements and whether the council should procure a new integrated solution. This is a professional ICT consultancy and systems review requirement, covering housing management and repairs functions rather than the supply of software alone. Delivery is associated with East Ayrshire Council and its housing services in the Kilmarnock and wider East Ayrshire area. The procurement is classified under consultancy services for information technology and systems, including systems consultancy, implementation consultancy and IT consultancy services. Suppliers with relevant experience in housing-sector technology reviews, repairs systems and integrated solution planning should find the scope relevant.

The procurement has reached the tender stage: East Ayrshire Council invited offers through an open procedure. Bids are to be submitted electronically in English by 20 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with bid opening scheduled for the same time. The evaluation and award period starts at that deadline. The requirement is arranged as one lot, with a contract duration of 180 days. The tender does not allow variant bids, and the contract is not intended to include renewal or additional options. The opportunity is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The tender concerns consultancy services for an ICT systems review, with the resulting recommendations intended to inform future procurement and system decisions. The procurement reference is PS/26/144.

This opportunity suits specialist ICT consultancies and systems integrators that can independently assess housing management and repairs platforms and turn findings into practical procurement advice. Strong bidders are likely to understand the operational needs of council housing services, including repairs workflows, housing management processes, data and system integration, and the relationship between existing systems and a potential integrated replacement. The work calls for analytical capability, evidence-based assessment and the ability to engage with the client’s current technology and service arrangements before recommending future requirements. It is particularly relevant to firms with experience reviewing public-sector or social-housing systems and shaping technology strategies, business requirements or subsequent procurements. The one-lot structure is suited to a supplier able to provide a complete review and coherent recommendations rather than only a narrow technical assessment.
