What the notice says

THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION. THIS IS A MARKET ENGAGEMENT. Shropshire Council is seeking to procure a software system designed to support local authority processes in the UK, including Planning Applications, Building Control functions, Local Land and Property Gazetteer (LLPG), Street Naming and Numbering, and Land Charges. The purpose of this Preliminary Market Engagement is to assist the Council in developing its requirements and approach to the procurement, particularly in relation to the themes addressed within the Preliminary Market Engagement questionnaire. The Council anticipates the new contract to commence in April 2027, subject to Council approval and market engagement outcomes.
