## Summary

Nottinghamshire County Council is currently in the tender stage for a Framework Agreement aimed at procuring software licence agreements, applications, and associated services. The procurement process falls under the "Software supply services" industry category, with additional considerations for "Software consultancy services." This open procedure, which is valued at £25,000,000, targets the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. Key dates to note include the tender period ending on 17th June 2025, and the contract period spanning from 1st September 2025 to 31st August 2029. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), offering a significant opportunity for such businesses to engage with a major council project.

This tender presents a compelling opportunity for businesses involved in software development and consultancy, particularly those that supply commercial off-the-shelf software and associated services such as training and installation. SMEs with expertise in these areas can leverage the council's requirement for an Approved Product Portfolio, which ensures compatibility with existing infrastructure. Participating in this framework can facilitate substantial business growth by establishing long-term relationships with a public sector entity, providing a stable source of revenue over the contract's duration. Businesses situated within or near the East Midlands may find additional logistical advantages, further enhancing their competitive edge in this procurement process.
