## Summary

The procurement process conducted by Buckinghamshire Council involves the subscription of PlanX as a fully hosted software service to support digital planning services, classified under software supply services (CPV code 72268000). This tender is a completed award for a service located in Buckinghamshire, UK. It was managed through a limited procedure without prior publication, justified by the lack of competition for technical reasons, allowing only Open Systems Lab Ltd to fulfil the contract. The service classification falls within the regional authority category, and the contract was signed on the 9th of May, 2025, with a contract value of £60,000 GBP.

This tender presents an opportunity for software service providers, particularly those offering unique technical solutions, to engage with regional authorities like Buckinghamshire Council. Companies with exclusive capabilities could potentially benefit from similar procurement methods where competition is limited for specific technical reasons. As a small-to-medium enterprise (SME), Open Systems Lab Ltd successfully secured the contract highlighting the viability for SMEs in tech development to compete for government contracts, particularly those that are complex or require specialised solutions.
