When this comes round again

Manchester City Council publishes Software & IT Systems work continuously — 51 notices, roughly one every 61 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.

45% of Manchester City Council’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.

Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →

The brief

Manchester City Council is conducting a preliminary market engagement to assess available Energy Management Software solutions capable of importing and processing utility supply and services invoices across the Council's property portfolio including sites covered under the Council's 'framework agreement'.

The Council requires a solution that can manage both current and historical data, with an existing volume of over 3,200 supply points.

This number is expected to increase over time as the Council expands its estate and onboarding scope.

As such, scalability, performance, and flexibility of the solution will be key considerations.

The system must support the import and processing of invoices using industry-standard identifiers, including: MPAN / MPXN (Meter Point Administration Number - electricity and gas) SPID / WPID (Supply Point ID - water) In addition, the Council requires a secure, web-based portal which enables role-based access control, allowing different user groups across the organisation to access relevant data and functionality in line with their operational needs.
