This procurement is focused on software implementation services and software supply services within the IT industry. The engagement is currently in the planning stage, with a key milestone for feedback due by 30th September 2019. The project aims to consolidate various asset management systems across three councils located in the South West of the United Kingdom, and interested parties are encouraged to register on the authority's electronic tendering system to access relevant procurement documents. This Soft Market Test presents a significant opportunity for businesses that specialise in software solutions, particularly those offering integrated asset management systems. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are well-suited to participate, as they can provide innovative and tailored solutions. The process may lead to further procurement opportunities, allowing firms to position themselves as potential providers for a shared system designed to support multiple authorities in their asset management needs. ## Notice PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A SOFT MARKET TEST ONLY TO ASSIST WITH RESEARCH AND PREPARATION AND IS NOT A FORMAL TENDER. THIS MAY LEAD TO A PROCUREMENT OPPORTUNITY IN THE NEAR FUTURE. PLEASE NOTE: THIS SOFT MARKET TEST IS BEING CONDUCTED BY TEIGNBRIDGE DISTRICT COUNCIL ON BEHALF OF STRATA SERVICE SOLUTIONS LTD WHO ARE THE IT SERVICE PROVIDER. As part of an ongoing programme of IT systems convergence, Strata are currently working with the councils to review the suite of grounds, street, public realm and asset management systems currently in place, with a view to having a single system providing all asset management requirements for the 3 authorities. To understand the budget implications of introducing a shared asset management system, Strata are undertaking a Soft Market Test (SMT) to understand the market and potential costs of the desired system.
