## Summary

Great Yarmouth Borough Council has completed a public procurement process for the maintenance of the Ocella system, which is used for Planning and Building Control. The contract, under the industry category of software-related services with CPV classifications linked to planning systems, covers an 11-month period from 1st January to 30th November 2026. Located in the UKH15 region, the contract was awarded to Ocella Software Systems Ltd, with the award finalised on 9th December 2025. The process followed a below threshold procurement method, and its current status is marked as complete.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in software maintenance, particularly those with expertise in planning systems. Given the specific nature of the Ocella system's requirements, companies capable of providing software-related services in a similar scope can benefit from future contracts or maintenance tasks. Firms with familiarity in public sector engagements, especially in sub-central government domains like Great Yarmouth Borough Council, may find comparable opportunities advantageous for expanding their portfolio within local governmental contracts in the UKH15 region.
