Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames recently completed the procurement for the "Provision of Complaints System for Royal Borough of Kingston", with the process now at the award stage and the contract commencing on 8th June 2026 until 7th June 2028. This procurement falls under the services industry category, specifically programming services of application software, and covers multiple regions across the United Kingdom, including London and other areas in England. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure with a total contract value of £100,000, awarded to Digital Interactive Limited. The procurement method switched from a direct award to an open procedure, indicating a competitive tendering process.
