Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about OCR software, optical character recognition, document scanning, intelligent document processing, document digitisation, handwriting recognition, document capture in the UK public sector.
What kind of OCR work do public bodies tender?
Notices cover OCR software packages and cloud subscriptions bought on their own, archive and digitisation contracts that use OCR to make handwritten and printed records searchable, and OCR requirements folded into a wider document management, finance or ERP system.
Where are OCR software contracts advertised?
Stotles brings together OCR software tenders and contracts from 100+ portals into one search, so you do not have to check each portal separately, and you can set alerts for new opportunities across the UK and Ireland.
If you want to search the government portals directly, Find a Tender carries higher-value contracts across the UK and Contracts Finder carries lower-value contracts in England. Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales and eTendersNI cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Ireland's eTenders covers Irish public bodies, and many councils, NHS bodies and housing associations publish on their own e-tendering portals such as ProContract. OCR is bought as a software licence or subscription, often through G-Cloud, or folded into larger scanning and document management services.
What do you need to bid for OCR software contracts?
OCR services processing records must handle personal data in line with UK data protection law, and archive digitisation may need security-cleared staff. Tenders usually set minimum insurance cover, check financial standing and ask for evidence of similar contracts at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.
Is OCR software bought on its own or as part of a bigger contract?
Both happen. Some notices are a standalone OCR licence or scanning service. Others fold OCR into a bigger contract, such as an inbound mail and document management service or a finance system upgrade.
Who buys OCR software through public tenders?
Archives and government departments buy OCR to digitise historic and case records. Universities and housing associations buy OCR inside accessibility tools or finance systems. Public bodies running a large document management or inbound mail contract build OCR into that wider service.
How do I find OCR software contracts before they are formally tendered?
Read digital and technology strategies, licence and contract renewal dates, architecture reviews and early market engagement notices, which show OCR software work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.
What CPV codes cover OCR software tenders?
OCR software notices carry 48000000 (Software package and information systems), and digitisation contracts carry scanning codes such as 79999100 (Scanning services).
