## Summary

Melton Borough Council is initiating a procurement process for an e-Tendering System, with the process presently in the planning stage. The procurement falls under the sector of goods, specifically focusing on procurement software packages. Interested parties are invited for market consultation to help shape the service delivery specifications for the e-Tendering services, slated to commence in February 2026. Potential service providers have until 17th November 2025 to express their interest and submit the Soft Market Engagement Questionnaire. The project location is Melton Mowbray, within the UKF22 region of the United Kingdom.

This tender process presents a valuable business growth opportunity for firms specialising in procurement software and related digital services.
