This engagement is currently in the planning stage and has a deadline for responses set for 10:00hrs on 30th June 2020. The contract is valued at £130,000 and is related to software packages and information systems. The Leicester-based council seeks to digitalise its services ahead of the expiration of its current contract, which is due in 2023. This pre-market engagement represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in software solutions, especially those proficient in eProcurement and contract management systems. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as their innovative offerings may align with the council's objectives of embracing digitalisation. Interested parties should submit their insights and solutions via email to the council's contact point, Lorraine Dixon, to contribute to the shaping of future requirements. ## Notice Leicester City Council (the Council) is looking for eProcurement solutions that provide for the procurement and management of contracts online. The Council is interested in understanding the current market, and whether suppliers can supply all of our requirements and what solutions suppliers can provide. As a principle the Council is embracing digitalisation of as many services as possible. The contract for the Council's current solution is due to expire in 2023. Before commencing a formal tender process, the Council is keen to seek market information from organisations that may have an interest or expertise in this field. The information provided will be used to help inform and shape the requirements in our specification. The deadline for responses to this pre-market engagement is no later than 10:00hrs 30/06/2020. Responses are to be submitted via email to Lorraine.dixon@leicester.gov.uk.
