Official UK procurement notice
London Tribunal Managed Service, (LTMS)
Authority: London Councils (Local council)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionLondon Tribunal Managed Service, (LTMS) which facilitate, amongst other things;
Data capture and case management for all appeals, statutory declarations and witness statements;
The timely and secure exchange of all appeal-related and non-appeal-related communications, notices, decisions, and correspondence between appellants, representatives, enforcement authorities, adjudicators, and London Tribunals staff, maintaining a complete and auditable record of all interactions;
Provide, maintain, and administer a publicly accessible statutory register, ensuring the timely publication, accuracy, integrity, retention, and accessibility of records in accordance with relevant statutory obligations and agreed service standards, and;
Deliver integrated hearing centre support services, including reception, administrative, clerical, security, and technical support, to facilitate the efficient delivery of remote, in-person, and hybrid hearings, and to ensure the effective operation of the Case Management System (CMS) and related digital services, etc.
The current services were procured under 4 distinct Lots:
Lot 1: Tribunal Services;
Lot 2: Tribunal Services, (RUCA), similar in scope to Lot 1 but with RUCA and GLA oversight;
Lot 3: Hardware ICT Infrastructure, necessary to operate the above services, and;
Lot 4: Trace, (Tow-Away, Removal and Clamping Enquiry) and TEC, (Traffic Enforcement Centre - Data transfer services), requiring the Lot 1 and 2 service provider to liaise with Trace and TEC which is an external resource.
The proposed procurement would be to retain Lot 1 and 2, but have the Hardware ICT Infrastructure and Trace and TEC as services managed by the successful supplier for Lot 1 and 2, as either a supply chain, (hardware) or managed service, (Trace and TEC).
London Councils estimate that there will be a maximum 1 year mobilisation of these services between the current incumbent and any new service provider, with the service contract being let by December 2027, to provide a one year transition and mobilisation between the current incumbent and any new provider.
London Councils would like to engage with the supply market to discuss these services and receive comment on the draft specification and procurement strategy, to allow feedback and impact both, before formally tendering the services. London Councils estimate that the UK 4 Tender Notice will be published early 2027, and has attached a procurement timeline indicating the process steps and dates.
Please note, this is a preliminary market engagement and presently not a formal public procurement, and London Councils does warrant of guarantee that there will be a formal procurement. All costs of engagement should be borne by the economic operators expressing interest in this opportunity.

How London Councils buys Provider services (CPV 7241), and who usually turns up
London Councils’s published record next to the market for the same work. Frameworks and DPS are left out: they draw different bid counts. Whole-market view: Provider services (CPV 7241) →
How the contest usually goes
Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.
i
How often small and medium firms win.
Share of awards where the winner’s size is known.
The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.
Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.
i
How often local firms win similar work.
Winners with a registered address in the delivery region, out of awards with a known address.
Local means the winner is registered in the region where that award was delivered.
A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.
Most of this buyer’s recorded winners were registered in the region where that award was delivered.
i
How long buyers here take to decide after bids close.
Middle value in days from the bid deadline to the award date, on competitions that published both.
Only decided tenders count, so slow ones still waiting are not in.
Half of these awards have an award date within 70 days of the bid deadline.
i
How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.
Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.
The market share is a minimum: some awards have no bid count.
Thin markets produce this too; it is not proof of a tailored specification.
Awards are recorded, but published direct routes and bid counts do not establish this buyer’s share.
How many bids did past lots attract?
i
How many bids past lots received.
Each colour is a bid-count range. Only competed lots with a published count are included.

About this data
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
- Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
- Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
- Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
