## Summary

The City of York Council is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for a project titled "Procurement Portal and Transparency Register." This initiative focuses on market engagement to inform an options appraisal for the council's procurement and transparency requirements. Situated in York, United Kingdom, the procurement falls under the industry categories of document management, financial analysis, procurement, and IT software and services. A notable deadline includes a Request for Information (RFI) engagement deadline scheduled for 8th September 2025, which invites suppliers for potential demos. The procurement is updating its planning considerations, with future engagement notices expected by 1st August 2026.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses that specialize in software and services including document management, financial analysis, procurement platforms, and database management. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement specifically identifies their suitability for involvement. The contract comes with the potential for renewal beyond its initial period from 2027 to 2032, potentially extending until 2036, positioning it as a promising avenue for sustained business growth and partnership with the City of York Council.
