## Summary

The contract, valued at £739,323, was awarded to IDOX PLC, and the award notice was published on 2nd April 2019. The procurement process involved a single tender action, which was completed on 30th November 2018.

The work will be carried out across British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man, and the United Kingdom.

This tender presents an opportunity for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) focussed on software development and electoral management systems. Companies with expertise in user-friendly software solutions and voter registration processes would be particularly well-suited to engage with future similar contracts or agreements arising from the initiatives stemming from this modernisation programme. The transparency of this contract and its objectives encourages further engagement in the public sector, thereby fostering competition and growth within the industry.

## Notice

Delivering a more cost effective, streamlined and user friendly annual voter registration canvass is one work stream within a wider Programme initiative aimed at delivering the vision for electoral registration. This wider Programme, entitled the 'Modernising Electoral Registration Programme' (MERP), consists of a range of work streams, each aimed at realising one or more of the vision's overarching objectives - such as increasing the completeness and accuracy of the register, making the system of electoral registration more efficient and ensuring ERO performance is measured more on outcomes as opposed to outputs.
