Summary of the contracting process

Durham County Council has successfully completed a procurement process titled "Blue Badge Service Management," appointing Valtech Limited as the Service Management Provider for all online Blue Badge Digital Services. The procurement, classified under the software package and information systems industry (CPV code 48000000), is relevant to the North East region of the United Kingdom. This contract, initiated as a negotiated procedure without prior publication, covers a period from 5th August 2024 to 4th August 2029, with a total value of £152,000. Key dates include the tender's end date on 3rd August 2024 and the award date on 4th August 2024.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software and information systems, particularly those capable of managing digital services efficiently. The selection of Valtech Limited, a large-scale enterprise, highlights the contract's suitability for well-established firms. However, the inclusion of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) in this procurement underscores the Council's commitment to inclusive participation, potentially fostering growth for smaller businesses looking to enter or expand within the public sector market.
