The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

What the notice says

Within the next 2 years, the contract for several of St Helens Borough Council's Asset Management software systems will come to an end. We have therefore decided to look at a whole market re-procurement exercise to understand what is available to cover a range of services across the Operations Department, including (but not limited to) Highways & Infrastructure and Open Spaces

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
