The purchase covers Opus Information Lifecycle Azure, hosted AvePoint services and a Bronze-level technical account management service deliverable. In practical terms, the requirement concerns cloud-based management of council records, supported by software hosting and supplier service support. It is classified as a goods procurement, with the related work also covering IT services, including software development, consultancy, internet services and support. The named buying organisation is North Lanarkshire Council, based at the Civic Centre in Motherwell. The requirement is relevant to software suppliers, cloud records and information-governance providers, Microsoft Azure specialists, AvePoint service providers and technology resellers able to combine hosted software with ongoing technical account management. This procurement has been awarded. North Lanarkshire Council used a direct award under the Scottish Government Software Value Added Reseller Framework, reference SP-21-034. The procedure was for a single supplier without competition, and one bid is recorded. Computacenter (UK) Limited was selected for the cloud records management solution. The awarded value is £66,012. The resulting contract is recorded as active. The award covers the Opus Information Lifecycle Azure and AvePoint HostedTAM Bronze Service Deliverable requirement. The route and outcome indicate that access to the relevant framework, rather than an open tender response, was central to the procurement. The evaluation outcome was therefore the selection of one supplier through the framework’s direct-award route. For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a council requirement for a focused cloud records management service combining Azure-based information lifecycle software, hosted AvePoint capability and technical account management. A credible future competitor would need practical expertise in cloud records systems and the ability to deliver the specified software and hosted service as an integrated package. Experience supporting public-sector information governance, records management and secure cloud adoption would help demonstrate suitability. Suppliers would also need a route to provide the required framework-based reseller or delivery arrangement, since this purchase was made through the Scottish Government Software Value Added Reseller Framework. Technology resellers, platform specialists and managed-service partners may therefore be well placed where they can evidence dependable support for council-scale operations. ## Notice Scottish Government - Software Value Added Reseller Framework (SP-21-034)Opus Information Lifecycle Azure - AvePoint HostedTAM Bronze Service Deliverable ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG562828 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | The contract is awarded to a single supplier without competition. | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 21 Aug 2026 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £66,012 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | North Lanarkshire Council | | Additional buyers | NHS Fife; Perth & Kinross Council; Scottish Government | | Locality | DUNFERMLINE | | Postcode area | Motherwell | | Postcode | ML1 1AB | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM34 North Lanarkshire | | Local authority | North Lanarkshire | | Electoral ward | Motherwell South East and Ravenscraig | | Westminster constituency | Motherwell, Wishaw and Carluke | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 6 | | Supplier names | Alpha Projects; Computacenter (UK) Limited; Democracy Counts Ltd; Ernst & Young LLP (EY); Jacobs UK Ltd; People Asset Management Ltd | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ## Release History - 21 Aug 2026 at 14:05 - Award - PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG562828 ## Notice URLs - http://https://www.northlanarkshire.gov.uk - http://www.nhsfife.org - http://www.pkc.gov.uk/article/15478/Tenders-and-contracts - http://www.scotland.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
