## Summary

Lancashire County Council bought a cloud-based booking system for its Registration Service. The solution supports the management of registration appointments and ceremonies, together with related customer bookings. Its functions include online booking, scheduling, administration and reporting. This is a software service, intended to support the council’s registration operations; delivery is associated with Preston, Lancashire. The requirement combines customer-facing booking with the operational tools needed to manage appointments and ceremonies. It is relevant to suppliers providing hosted booking platforms and related implementation or service capabilities for public-sector registration services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Stopford Information Systems Ltd. The award was made on 25 September 2026, for £200,000. The contract period runs from 12 October 2026 to 11 October 2029. Lancashire County Council used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender closed on 18 August 2026 at 11:00. The estimated tender value was also £200,000. The requirement was treated as a single procurement, with no separately described lots. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to provide the service. The recorded procurement information does not set out a specific evaluation formula or detailed technical or financial selection thresholds.

For suppliers that did not win, this award shows Lancashire County Council’s demand for a cloud-based registration booking platform covering appointments, ceremonies and customer bookings. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to provide a reliable online booking experience alongside scheduling, administrative controls and useful reporting for council staff. The winning supplier was a small or medium-sized business, demonstrating that delivery was not limited to large technology providers. Suppliers should be able to explain how their platform supports the registration service’s operational workflow as well as customer access, and how they would deliver and support the service over a multi-year contract. The council used a framework call-off route, so relevant framework participation would be commercially important.
