Further to your request received on 13th May 2026, I confirm that the Council has now considered your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

Questions & Answers)
  1. What Built Environment Digital System does your council currently use 
*Exempted – see below.
  1. Are there any known limitations or challenges within your current Built Environment System (e.g., usability, reporting, integrations, configurability), if so, what 
The current asset management system covers all areas needed but is always being developed and improved to provide better efficiency of working.
  1. When does the current contract for your Built Environment System expire
Contract expires 30th June 2028.
  1. What is the total contract value of your current Built Environment system (including any extensions)
3-year term £403,000.
  1. In light of the upcoming Local Government Reorganisation (LGR), has the council undertaken (or does it plan to undertake) any review, consolidation, or replacement of systems used within Built Environment services If so, please provide details of the scope, expected timelines, and whether this activity is anticipated to be delivered within the first 12 months of reorganisation or as part of a longer-term (e.g. 3-year) plan.
The 3 year contract was taken with the timing of LGR in mind, at this moment in time it is unknown whether the current system will be taken forward or not, due to the unknowns of LGR itself; we envisage that it will not be a solely NCC decision which asset management system we take forward, we will be championing for the system we currently have in place as it has received constant development over the past 2 decades.
