This engagement, located in Hereford, West Midlands, is part of the initial planning stage, with the deadline for responses set for 27th September 2019. The tender is aimed at identifying potential organisations interested in providing software solutions for managing the Local Land Charges register, to support approximately 2000 searches annually as the current contract is nearing expiration in February 2020. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software development and information systems, particularly those with experience in local government or land management solutions. Companies that can demonstrate agility in tailoring software to meet specific public sector requirements would be well-suited to engage in this soft market test. Interested parties are encouraged to register on the ProContract e-tendering portal, where they can access further details and submit their proposals. ## Notice The overall purpose of the Local land Charge Service is to maintain the Local Land Charges register and provide Local Land Charge searches for the community of Herefordshire. The main clients are solicitors and private search companies who complete conveyancing transactions for all those who are involved in various matters relating to the transfer/mortgaging of property. The service currently completes approx. 2000 searches per year and manually registers some 250 records within the land charges system. Interface registrations are received from other departments, with the majority of interface items being received from Planning Services. The current contract is due to expire in February 2020, so the Council is undertaking a soft market test for the purpose of establishing whether there are any organisations that are interested in providing Land Charges software. Information provided will assist the Council in finalising the requirements of the solution and approach to the market. Additional information: If you would be interested in helping the Council with this soft market test, please log onto the ProContract e-tendering portal and register an interest in this opportunity. There you will find an outline brief and a questionnaire to complete and return to us by 27th September 2019. https://www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk/ ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/feea4c1e-ace6-4587-9484-f90286c8a836 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Aug 2019 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 27 Sep 2019 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HEREFORDSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | HEREFORD | | Post town | Hereford | | Postcode | HR4 0LE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG1 Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Warwickshire | | ITL 3 | TLG11 Herefordshire, County of | | Local authority | Herefordshire, County of | | Electoral ward | Widemarsh | | Westminster constituency | Hereford and South Herefordshire | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems ### Codes - 48000000 - Software package and information systems ## Release History - 28 Aug 2019 at 10:06 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/feea4c1e-ace6-4587-9484-f90286c8a836 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/feea4c1e-ace6-4587-9484-f90286c8a836 28th August 2019 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.herefordshire.gov.uk - https://www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
