## Summary

North Ayrshire Council procured continued provision of a business-critical software system supporting its statutory building standards, planning and housing functions. This is specialist software supply and support for public-sector operational services, rather than a general-purpose IT purchase. The requirement covers the council’s housing, environmental and planning solution needs and is associated with the council in Irvine, North Ayrshire. The system underpins functions the council is required to carry out, so continuity of service is central to the requirement. The work was procured as a service and linked to software and application solutions for the council’s operational functions.

The procurement is complete and Idox Software Ltd was selected as supplier. The award was made through a direct award under the Government Commercial Agency’s Vertical Application Solutions Framework, using its Housing, Environmental and Planning Solutions lot. The recorded contract value is £149,721.26. The contract is described as starting on 31 October 2026 and lasting three years, with no extension option. The procurement data records one bid for the lot. It does not provide a separate award date, so the outcome is identified by the completed status and named supplier rather than a dated award decision. The requirement was for continued provision of the system; no separate scored evaluation criteria are set out.

For suppliers tracking future demand from North Ayrshire Council, this award demonstrates a continuing need for software that supports statutory building standards, planning and housing work. A credible competitor would need a solution suited to these specific council functions, together with the ability to maintain continuity for a business-critical system. The award was routed through a public-sector framework covering housing, environmental and planning applications, so relevant framework access and a product aligned with that scope would matter. The single recorded bid and selection of Idox Software Ltd show the type of specialist software provider that met the requirement in this procurement. Suppliers focused on unrelated software or unable to support the council’s operational service needs are less closely matched.
