## Summary

Lichfield District Council is currently in the planning stage of procuring a new Building Control Software to support its responsibilities related to the Building Safety Levy for the Central Building Control Partnership. The procurement pertains to the software and IT services industry, with an emphasis on managing data identifiable by council area. The preliminary market engagement notice was published on 3rd July 2026, with responses required by 17th July 2026. The project involves service delivery across regions including the West and East Midlands, UK, under the contract reference LDC-692. The software must integrate with existing systems and accommodate potential local government changes.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth to businesses specialising in software development and IT services, particularly those providing comprehensive software solutions tailored to public sector needs. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in creating scalable and secure software packages, capable of integrating with existing systems, will find this opportunity appealing. With the contract positioned to start on 1st January 2027 and the potential for renewal, businesses could establish a long-term partnership with multiple councils via Lichfield District Council's shared Building Control service initiative.

## Notice

Lichfield District Council are looking for suppliers of software to manage its new Building Safety Levy responsibilities, including recording, collecting and paying the levy on behalf of the Central Building Control Partnership councils. The partnership is a shared Building Control service consisting of six councils across the West and East Midlands, which is hosted by Lichfield District Council. It is important therefore that any data stored in systems is identifiable by council area, and can be easily extracted if local government reorganisation leads to changes within the partnership. Consideration may be given to software that includes a back office system for Building Control, provided it can be linked to other existing software in other teams such as Land Charges.
