Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames bought commercial off-the-shelf software renewals and other digital and productivity tools to support service improvement and efficiency. The procurement is for software-related goods and services, covering both renewal of existing low-value software and the supply of future tools. Delivery is in England. The requirement is centred on supplying software and related services for the council, rather than a defined standalone development project.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Bytes Software Services. The council used an open procedure. The award was made on 28 February 2026, with the contract running from 1 March 2026 to 28 February 2029. The awarded contract value is £165,000. The tender deadline was 26 February 2026. The stated requirement brings together renewals and future purchasing of digital and productivity tools; no separate lot awards or evaluation criteria are recorded in the process information.

This award shows demand from Kingston upon Thames for ongoing access to commercial off-the-shelf software, together with the ability to supply other digital and productivity tools as service needs evolve. Suppliers competing for this buyer’s comparable requirement would need to manage software renewals and provide a suitable range of productivity and digital products, with the capacity to support service improvement and efficiency. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized business, demonstrating that a supplier of that scale delivered this requirement. The work is a combined software supply and related-services opportunity rather than a single product purchase, so a credible competitor would need to support a continuing relationship with the council across the contract term.
