This procurement is categorised under IT services, specifically focusing on consulting, software development, and related support. The consultation process is in the planning stage, with an engagement end date set for 15th November 2018. Interested parties are encouraged to review relevant documents available exclusively through YORtender, and all communications must be directed via this platform to ensure proper channels are maintained. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialised in software development, consulting, or IT efficiency solutions to showcase their offerings. Enterprises focused on providing system, storage, and content management software, as well as inventories, compliance, and document management solutions would be well-positioned to participate. With North Lincolnshire Council contemplating the possibility of procuring a single system, the diverse range of software services could lead to competitive opportunities for suppliers aiming to align with the Council's goals for service effectiveness and operational improvement. ## Notice North Lincolnshire Council is currently reviewing the IT systems it uses for operational service, and is looking at possibilities for rationalising the number in order to bring efficiencies and increase the effectiveness of the services. Currently North Lincolnshire Council is considering the option of procuring one system, but this may change following this Preliminary Market Consultation (PMC). The objective of this PMC is to understand if it is possible for one system to deliver the indicative specification, or if there are alternatives forms of delivery that North Lincolnshire Council should consider. All documents are available via YORtender. The documents are not available via any other means. All communication about this PMC must go through YORtender. North Lincolnshire Council does not guarantee any procurement excersise will take place following this PMC.
