## Summary

The tender for the "Provision of Capita Support" was initiated by South Lanarkshire Council, located in Hamilton, Scotland. This procurement falls within the services industry, specifically focusing on IT consultancy related to housing management systems. The procurement was conducted using an open procedure and is currently in the contract stage. The award for this contract, valued at £101,000, was signed on 7th January 2021. The procurement process is related to the cessation of current support for the Capita (Academy) system, which had been ongoing since 1996.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT consultancy and support services, particularly those with expertise in housing management systems such as Capita Academy. Firms familiar with public sector procurement and those capable of providing in-depth technical support would be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. The involvement of a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) like Gravitas Recruitment Group suggests that there is potential for companies of various sizes to bid for these types of contracts.

## Notice

Since 1996, Housing and Technical Resources have maintained their current Housing Management System via Capita (Academy). The system, as part of the ongoing contract, has been supported by Capita. The current support provided by Capita for Academy is due to come to an end in November 2020. Support from an individual with detailed knowledge of the Capita system which would address gaps in internal skills and experience
