## Summary

South Kesteven District Council bought Exacom building safety levy software through Idox Software. The software is for East Midlands Building Consultancy, the local authority building control service delivered through a partnership between South Kesteven District Council, Newark and Sherwood District Council, and Rushcliffe Borough Council. It is intended to support the new building safety levy. The purchase is classified as software and information systems. This is a specialised software requirement for a shared local authority building control service, rather than a general software supply or building works contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Idox Software was selected through a below-threshold limited competition. The procurement had one lot. The contract was signed on 23 September 2026 and runs from 23 September 2026 to 29 October 2029. Its value is £127,103.86 excluding tax and £152,524.63 including tax. The software is intended to support the building safety levy, which is due to go live on 1 October 2026. The award information identifies Idox Software as the supplier; no separate award date or evaluation criteria are stated.

This purchase shows demand for software supporting the building safety levy within a local authority building control service delivered jointly by three councils. Idox Software, a large software supplier, was selected through a limited competition. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to supply software suited to the levy and to a partnership-based building control service. The purchase is evidence of a specific digital requirement for this buyer and its partner councils, rather than a broad building control services contract.
