## Summary

East Dunbartonshire Council has completed a tender process for the expansion of their support agreement for the Saffron system, with an award made to Civica UK Limited. This procurement falls within the services sector, specifically addressing housing, community amenities, and environmental protection. The contract, valued at £307,750, was signed on 15 May 2020, and the extension will last until December 2023. The procurement was carried out through an open procedure, ensuring that a broad range of suppliers could participate.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in software support and maintenance, particularly those with experience in providing services for local governmental systems. Companies focusing on IT services, especially those capable of delivering custom solutions for community and environmental initiatives, would be well-positioned to compete in the future tender processes for replacement systems once the support extension concludes. With only one bid submitted in this round, there may be advantageous conditions for new entrants monitoring this space.
