## Summary

The procurement process for the project titled "CFM0424 - Catering Allergen System" has been completed by Fife Council, a regional authority located in Glenrothes, United Kingdom (UKM72). This tender fell under the industry category of software package and information systems, with the main procurement category being goods. The procurement stage reached the award phase, with a contract signed on 24th September 2025. Fife Council pursued a limited procurement method, awarding the contract directly to Civica UK Limited without prior publication owing to the absence of competition for technical reasons. This decision was facilitated through the CCS Vertical Application Solutions (VAS) Framework RM6259.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in software solutions, particularly those capable of offering bespoke systems meeting niche requirements, such as nutritional and allergen management for catering. Although Civica UK Limited, a large-scale supplier, was the only contender due to specific technical demands, the framework utilised highlights an effective route for other businesses of similar specialisation and capability to engage with future procurement opportunities through compliant market access points like this framework. This case illustrates the importance of unique technical expertise and established frameworks in opening avenues for business growth in public procurement markets.
