## Summary

The procurement process for the "Placemaker Digital Plan Software" was undertaken by Westmorland and Furness Council, focusing on acquiring digital local plan services through a direct award under the CCS G-Cloud 14 framework. This process took place in the North West region of the United Kingdom, falling under the software package and information systems industry category. The award was issued on 5th February 2025, with the contract period slated to run from 21st April 2025 to 21st April 2028. The procurement was completed with an award to Urban Intelligence Limited for £121,197 GBP. The tender was classified as a service procurement, specifically using a direct award method, indicative of its streamlined procurement strategy.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in digital planning and software development. The direct award nature suggests a preference for qualified suppliers already registered under the CCS G-Cloud 14 framework, making it suitable for firms familiar with public sector procedures and compliance requirements. Businesses managing to secure such tenders can expand their portfolio within the public sector, enhancing visibility and credibility through successful project delivery. This opportunity is particularly advantageous for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the tech industry looking to establish or expand their presence in government contracts, although larger companies, like the awarded supplier Urban Intelligence Limited, are also well-positioned to leverage their capabilities in similar future opportunities.
