## Summary

Herefordshire Council has recently completed a procurement process for a planning and regulatory services software replacement. This tender, titled "Mini-competition for the procurement of a planning and regulatory services software replacement," falls under the software package and information systems industry category, classified with CPV code 48000000. The procurement was facilitated through the Crown Commercial Services' Vertical Application Solutions framework, RM6259, Lot 3, and covered regions in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement stage is in the 'award' phase as of 24th June 2025, with the contract period running from 16th June 2025 to 15th June 2033. The contract, valued at approximately £1,130,997.97 (GBP), was awarded to Insight Direct (UK) Ltd, a large-scale supplier.

This procurement process presents opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services and solutions, particularly those that cater to planning, building control, and regulatory services. Given the scope of work spanning economically and environmentally significant sectors, IT firms that can deliver integrated platforms supporting diverse functions such as waste management and private sector housing can find considerable growth potential. Although this round of procurement is complete, similar opportunities may attract both established companies and SMEs with innovative offerings geared towards public sector needs.

## Notice
