## Summary

Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council procured a civil enforcement system: software and information systems to support its civil enforcement activity. The requirement is described as provision of the system, with no further functional scope set out in the procurement summary. Delivery is associated with Sefton, Merseyside. This is a software procurement rather than a works contract or a general-purpose IT support requirement. Suppliers whose products provide systems for civil enforcement, and businesses able to implement and supply such software to a local authority, are the closest fit. The contracting authority is Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council, based in Bootle.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Unity Five Limited. Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council used a limited framework call-off procedure without publishing a prior competition notice. Five bids were recorded. The sole lot is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active; the published outcome therefore names Unity Five Limited as the selected supplier. The award date was not provided. The contract was signed on 16 October 2026 and has a value of £205,650. No contract period is recorded. Evaluation was weighted 70% to quality and 30% to price. The award relates to the civil enforcement system requirement for Sefton.

The outcome indicates demand from Sefton for a dedicated civil enforcement system, procured through a framework call-off. A supplier seeking to compete for a comparable requirement would need a proven software product designed for civil enforcement, together with the capability to configure, implement and support it for a local authority. The evaluation weighting gives quality substantially more influence than price, so credible evidence of functional fit, reliability, implementation approach and ongoing service capability would be important alongside a competitive commercial offer. The selected provider was an SME, showing that this requirement was delivered by a smaller supplier rather than only a large systems integrator. Businesses with relevant local-government software experience and capacity to deliver a complete system are therefore the most directly aligned competitors.
