## Summary

Halton Borough Council procured an electronic document management system (EDMS) covering public access and consultee access software, together with licence, support and maintenance services. The requirement is principally software and information systems for use by the council, with delivery in the Halton area of England. The procurement comprises a single requirement rather than separate service or works packages. It is relevant to software providers with products that enable controlled public access to council documents and information, support consultation activity, and provide ongoing technical support and maintenance. Suppliers may be particularly relevant if they can provide an established EDMS product alongside licensing and managed support for a local authority environment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. IDOX SOFTWARE LTD was selected as the supplier for the single requirement. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026 and runs from 11 August 2026 to 31 August 2029. Its value is £38,081 excluding VAT and £45,697.20 including VAT. The procurement was classified as goods, although the requirement also includes software licensing, support and maintenance. The award is active and the contract is active, indicating that the selected supplier is delivering the agreed software and associated services for Halton Borough Council.

This award provides a clear benchmark for suppliers competing for similar local-authority EDMS requirements. A credible competitor would need a mature public-access and consultee-access software product, reliable document-management functionality, and licensing arrangements suitable for council use. It would also need the operational capability to provide continuing support and maintenance throughout a multi-year agreement, rather than supplying software alone. Relevant experience of working with public authorities, handling controlled access to council information, supporting consultation workflows and maintaining service continuity would strengthen a supplier’s position when this buyer next reviews the requirement. The procurement also shows that Halton Borough Council has an established demand for a combined software and support solution.
