IDOX appointed supplier under Local Government Software Application Solutions framework agreement

IDOX plc (AIM: IDOX, 'IDOX' or 'the Group'), a leading independent supplier of software and services to the UK public sector and other markets, announced today that IDOX Software Ltd has been selected as a supplier under the new Local Government Software Application Solutions (LGSAS) framework agreement.

The appointment was made by Government Procurement Service (formerly Buying Solutions) which has created the new framework to drive value for money for the public sector through the innovative pricing and discounting of proven software services and solutions which help local authorities deliver improved public services at lower cost, including where the delivery of such functions are or might be shared between authorities.

Through the LGSAS framework, IDOX will deliver a range of solutions and services to local government across:

Lot 1: MANAGEMENT & FINANCE - Revenue, Benefits and Finance Software Application Solutions

Lot 2: MANAGEMENT & FINANCE - Performance Management, Planning and Decision Making Software Application Solutions

Lot 6: COMMUNITIES - Electoral Services Software Application Solutions,

Lot 8: ENVIRONMENT & PUBLIC PROTECTION - Waste and Environmental Health Software Application Solutions; and

Lot 10: ENVIRONMENT & PUBLIC PROTECTION - Planning related Software Application Solutions.

Richard Kellett-Clarke, CEO of IDOX Software Ltd, said:  

"We are delighted to have been appointed across these five lots on this new framework agreement and indeed to have been part of an exercise that we believe will genuinely transform the way in which the public sector commissions software solutions.  The framework means reduced tendering costs for buyers as well as suppliers as the process obviates the need for repeated and costly EU procurement tendering exercises. 

"This success further cements our position as one of the leading providers of software solutions to the public sector, and we are pleased that our commitment to providing value for money in our approach to aggregated procurement to support the creation of new and innovative shared services is reflected in the Government Procurement Service's decision to appoint us."

IDOX has a long and successful track record of providing a wide range of innovative, value-for-money software applications and related consultancy services across more than 90% of UK local authorities, and is the leading solutions provider to local government for core functions relating to land, people and property, including  its market leading planning, regulatory services and election management software. Over 90% of UK local authorities are now customers.
