Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire County Council procured a hosted web platform, including software licences, hosting and support. This is a software and digital platform service, focused on internet and intranet systems, rather than a general networking or infrastructure supply. The service is for the council and is associated with Lincoln, Lincolnshire. The procurement description does not set out specific platform features, implementation tasks or service levels, so the requirement evidenced here is the provision and ongoing support of the web platform itself. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Jadu Creative Limited, an SME, was selected to provide the service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Jadu Creative Limited. Lincolnshire County Council made the award on 16 September 2026, for £187,584. The contract period runs from 23 August 2026 to 22 August 2027. The requirement was procured as a call-off from the G-Cloud 14 framework, using a selective route; the submission deadline was 21 August 2026. The procurement was not divided into stated lots. The published information does not describe the evaluation criteria or set out additional eligibility requirements, beyond indicating suitability for SMEs and VCSEs. The award is recorded as active, and the contract is for licensing, hosting and support of the web platform.

For suppliers competing for a future requirement from Lincolnshire County Council, this award shows demand for a managed web-platform service combining licensing, hosting and support, rather than software supply alone. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate the ability to provide and maintain a web platform for a council, with the operational capability to host it and support users or administrators throughout the service period. Experience delivering internet or intranet software and public-sector requirements would be relevant to showing that capability. The call-off route through G-Cloud 14 indicates that suppliers should be positioned to compete through the applicable framework. The award to an SME, alongside stated suitability for SMEs and VCSEs, shows that the requirement was accessible to smaller suppliers as well as larger providers.
