## Summary

Somerset County Council has successfully completed the procurement process for an asset management software system, originally initiated due to the expiry of support for their current system in 2021. The contract, valued at £134,350, was awarded to The Technology Forge Limited, effective from 10 January 2022, with a duration of three years, and the possibility of two one-year extensions. The procurement employed an open procedure and concluded with key documents published on 14 January 2022, pertaining to the software package and information systems industry, located in the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the software development and technology sectors. Companies that focus on asset management solutions or those with experience in integrating complex systems would be particularly well-positioned to engage in similar tender processes. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are encouraged to participate, as the procurement aims to enhance efficiency through the integration of multiple functionalities into a single platform.

## Notice

Somerset County Council (SCC) are seeking to replace their current asset management system, due to the system support of the current provider expiring in 2021, jointly procuring a replacement system with Somerset West & Taunton Council (SW&T). This has brought about an opportunity to review other property related systems/requirements across the Councils, with a view to integrate the functionality of these systems into one single solution. This will mitigate the need to enter the same data onto multiple systems, reduce the risk of input errors, and generate efficiencies. Note 1 - the contract term is 3 years with two additional optional 12 months extensions available. Note 2 - a contract finder notice for this contract was published on 17 June 2021, procurement ref - SOMRTD001-DN547697-51409489
