## Summary

Hampshire County Council procured a registration and ceremony software solution, described as the Stopford Registration and Ceremony Solution. The requirement is for software and related information systems, delivered for the council in South East England. It is a services procurement focused on supporting registration and ceremony functions. The named solution indicates a defined system requirement rather than a broad general IT project.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Stopford Information Systems Ltd. The award was made on 20 July 2026, following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The estimated procurement range was £48,000 to £64,000, and the awarded value was £64,000. The contract runs from 10 August 2026 to 9 August 2029. The published information identifies the supplier and award value, but gives no separate evaluation criteria or selection requirements.

This award shows Hampshire County Council buying a dedicated registration and ceremony system through a framework call-off, with an SME selected to supply it. Suppliers competing for a comparable requirement would need a software product capable of supporting local-authority registration and ceremony operations, together with the ability to deliver and sustain the system over a multi-year contract. Experience with public-sector service delivery and integration into council working practices would help establish credibility, while evidence that the solution meets operational and user needs would be important. The route used here makes access to an appropriate framework and the ability to respond to a call-off relevant commercial capabilities. The award indicates a bounded, specialist software requirement rather than a large-scale technology transformation.
