## Summary

The procurement process undertaken by Leicester City Council involves the provision of maintenance and minor developments for the AppInterface system. This contract centres around IT services related to consulting, software development, and support within Leicester, United Kingdom. The procurement utilised an open method, below threshold, ensuring wide competition. Awarded on 3rd December 2025, the contract is set to commence on 1st April 2026 and potentially extend until 31st March 2031. The process is currently at the award stage, following the initial tender period which concluded on 13th August 2025.

This tender presents significant business opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in IT services and software development who can deliver scalable cloud solutions. Large enterprises like Ember Technology Ltd have demonstrated successful competition, suggesting firms with the capability to adapt on-premises systems towards SaaS or cloud-based formats would thrive. The contract highlights opportunities for integrating new systems and creating secure, operational continuity in municipal IT infrastructure, appealing to businesses aiming to expand their technological reach in the public sector. Firms positioned well to offer API integrations and maintain robust IT frameworks could find lucrative prospects in such public procurement ventures.

## Notice

The Council currently manages City Highways and Street lighting work using AppInterface, a solution made up of individual applications largely hosted on-premises, with data stored in an SQL database. The Spoils module is an exception, hosted separately as a standalone website for recording waste materials. In line with our cloud first policy, an on-premises solution is no longer acceptable. A new SaaS or cloud solution is required, which may involve adapting and migrating the current system. Meanwhile, the existing on-premises system must be maintained to remain operational and secure. Additionally, integration with the new Highways system, Alloy, via a new API will need to be configured within the AppInterface system.
