Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process undertaken by Bristol City Council, located in England, focused on securing IT services for the maintenance and support of their website, which falls under the "IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support" category, as classified by CPV code 72000000. This procurement aimed to address the Council's lack of in-house capabilities for website updates, upgrades, and ad-hoc component building. The contract encompasses a value of £200,000 and covers the period from 1st June 2025 to 31st May 2027. The procurement process has reached the Award stage, with the award made active on 31st May 2025. The supplier identified for this project is Blue Frontier, a small to medium enterprise based in Bristol.

This tender presents growth opportunities primarily for SMEs and potentially voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in IT services, particularly those experienced in web maintenance and support. As Bristol City Council has an ongoing requirement for external IT support due to internal capability limitations, businesses with strong technical expertise and resources to take over the upgrades and maintenance duties efficiently would find a strategic fit in projects like this. Given its regional location and the specific scope of work, this tender is well-suited for local businesses looking to expand their portfolio in the public sector IT services domain.
