## Summary

St Albans City and District Council has procured local plan consultation software, a software service to support consultation on the Council’s local plan. The requirement is classified as software and information systems. Delivery is in the South East of England. The procurement description identifies consultation software as the purpose; it does not describe specific functions or implementation tasks.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Objective Keystone UK Ltd. The award was made on 2 October 2026. The contract period runs from 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2030. The awarded value is £48,540.54. The Council used a selective procedure, making a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 15 September 2026. The requirement was treated as a services contract, and SMEs were considered suitable to compete. The procurement data gives no evaluation criteria beyond recording that the selection was made through this framework call-off.

For suppliers of local plan consultation software, this award is evidence that St Albans City and District Council buys a defined digital service to support public consultation on its local plan. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need to offer software suited to consultation on local planning policy, with the capability to support the Council’s consultation activity. The procurement was made through a framework call-off, so experience of supplying through an appropriate framework route would be commercially relevant. The Council identified the opportunity as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller software providers can be credible competitors. The scope described is focused on consultation software rather than wider planning systems or general-purpose software, so relevant product fit and experience in this specific use case matter most.
