## Summary

The procurement process was conducted by Stockton on Tees Borough Council for the acquisition of the "Gauge+Pay Software System," aimed at modernising the Council's job evaluation process and supporting future pay modelling alongside equal pay audits. The procurement falls under the goods category, specifically software packages and information systems, and was concluded through a direct award to a large supplier, Pilat Europe Limited. This direct award, considered below threshold without competition, was necessitated due to the supplier's absence from framework agreements. The contract, signed on 22 May 2025, will run from 1 June 2025 to 31 May 2028, with a gross value of £25,812. The procurement took place in the region of UKC11, and the entire process is currently reported as complete.

This tender presents growth opportunities, particularly for software developers and IT consultancy firms familiar with local government requirements. Businesses offering niche or specialised software solutions that enhance administrative and operational efficiencies in public sector organisations would find themselves well-placed to compete in such scenarios. Furthermore, companies specialising in innovative HR technology solutions, especially those with experience in working with local authorities, could benefit from similar procurement opportunities in the future, given the increasing demand for digital transformation within the public sector.
