This opportunity falls under the goods category and is part of a procurement process at the planning stage. Interested suppliers should note the future notice date of 1st January 2025 to participate in this tender. This tender for a Lobbying Register Solution aims to create opportunities for businesses capable of delivering online registration and information database services in compliance with the Lobbying Scotland Act 2016. Companies offering browser-based, cloud-hosted solutions that facilitate registration by lobbyists and public access would be well-suited to compete in this procurement process led by the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body. ## Notice The Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body (SPCB) is carrying out market research to identify providers who may be capable of delivering, implementing and supporting an online registration and information database solution, and understand if this can be met through commercial off the shelf software (COTS) or a developed and bespoke solution, to meet the requirements of the current Lobbying Register (the "register"), as set out in the Lobbying Scotland Act 2016. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Since March 2018, "regulated lobbying" must be recorded in a Lobbying Register. The types of lobbying which are regulated are set out in the Lobbying (Scotland) Act 2016. The Act places a statutory duty on eligible organisations (currently over 1,300) to register as 'lobbyists' and provide information returns for communications made face-to-face with any MSP, a member of the Scottish Government (Cabinet Secretaries and Scottish Law Officers), a junior Scottish Minister, a Scottish Government Special Adviser, or the Scottish Government's Permanent Secretary. This type of lobbying is 'regulated' lobbying, and defined by the Act. The information provided is assessed and published by the Scottish Parliament's Lobbying Register Team ("LRT"), who administer the register. Published details are available to anyone, free of charge, at the dedicated site of www.lobbying.scot The Parliament has a legal duty to monitor compliance, and the system also requires administration tools to assist the LRT with a number of daily tasks, related to: - communications made with registered organisations; the management and tracking of the flow of information submitted for registration purposes and information returns. - key reporting and messaging related to organisational compliance with statutory deadlines. Other key considerations of the solution include: - provide a facility for registration by lobbyists and interrogation of the register by the public - allow lobbyists to register and submit returns directly - be browser-based, and accessible from any location without being reliant on specific software installed on a client device - a cloud based, hosted solution - flexible to accommodate for future requirements arising under the legislation ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL509117 | | Notice type | OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Jul 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 1 Jan 2025 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SCOTTISH PARLIAMENTARY CORPORATE BODY | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH99 1SP | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | City Centre | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh East and Musselburgh | | Delivery location | TLM75 City of Edinburgh | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 48000000 - Software package and information systems - 48100000 - Industry specific software package - 48600000 - Database and operating software package - 48611000 - Database software package - 48612000 - Database-management system - 72212610 - Database software development services ## Release History - 3 Jul 2024 at 00:00 - Planning - OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL509117 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL509117 Lobbying Register Solution - The Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body (SPCB) is carrying out market research to identify providers who may be capable of delivering, implementing and supporting an online registration and information database solution, and understand if this can be met through commercial off the shelf software (COTS) or a developed and bespoke solution, to meet the requirements of the current Lobbying Register (the "register"), as set out in the Lobbying Scotland Act 2016. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.parliament.scot - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=770869 - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000770869 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
