Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council is exploring a centralised digital solution for health and safety inspections and compliance activity across all FSLT facilities. The planned service involves software and related implementation or support services for managing inspections and compliance, rather than physical works or goods. The council is based in Glenrothes, and the service is intended for its facilities; the procurement identifies Fife as the delivery area. Suppliers of health and safety management platforms, inspection software and associated software services may find the subject relevant.

This is at the planning stage: Fife Council has stated an intention to procure and is undertaking preliminary market engagement to understand available solutions. There is no invitation to tender at this stage. The council expects to issue a subsequent notice on 1 April 2027. The estimated procurement value is £16,000. The plan is presented as a single lot covering digital health and safety inspections and compliance across FSLT facilities. The classification indicates software implementation services. No procurement procedure, bid timetable, eligibility conditions or evaluation criteria are set out in this planning information.

This work is likely to suit suppliers able to provide digital tools that bring health and safety inspection and compliance activity together across multiple facilities. Relevant strengths include configurable inspection workflows, centralised compliance records, and the ability to support implementation and ongoing software services. The buyer is currently seeking market input on solutions, so providers with experience explaining how their platforms can address estate-wide inspection and compliance needs may be well placed to contribute to the engagement and prepare for the later procurement. The plan indicates one organisation-wide requirement rather than separate facility-specific lots. Suppliers should consider whether their product and service offering can support FSLT facilities as a whole; the procurement does not identify particular accreditations, technical standards or minimum capacity requirements.
