This initiative involves analysing the market for software supply and implementation services, specifically aimed at creating a unified asset management system for three local authorities. The engagement with potential suppliers is set to conclude on 30th September 2019. The location for this procurement is in the South West region of the United Kingdom. This soft market test presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in software development and implementation services, particularly those with expertise in asset management solutions. Companies that register their interest will be better positioned to take advantage of future procurement opportunities stemming from this initiative. Small and medium enterprises, as well as larger IT service providers, will benefit from understanding the budgetary considerations involved, thus facilitating their participation in upcoming formal tender processes. ## 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.
