## Summary

Perth & Kinross Council has completed a public procurement process titled "PKC13176 Corporate Arrears Recovery System Licence and Support" in the services category. The procurement aimed to provide licensing and support for the Council's Corporate Arrears Recovery System. This process took place in Perth, within the UKM77 region. The procurement was carried out through a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition due to technical reasons, mainly because the required services can only be provided by the existing vendor. The contract was awarded to Merchant Software Limited on 18th March 2025, with a total contract value of £35,158.61.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in software licensing and support services, particularly those with experience or proprietary solutions in public sector financial systems. The nature of the procurement highlights a niche market where specific expertise and existing relationships with local authorities can be highly advantageous. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly those within the region or those capable of offering specialised technical support, would be well-suited to pursue similar contracts in the future.
