Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The contract for the "Maintenance and support for Revenue & Benefits system" was awarded to NEC Software Solutions UK Ltd by Ipswich Borough Council. This procurement process, classified under the "Software package and information systems" industry category, took place in the East of England, United Kingdom. The procurement method used was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The tendering stage concluded with the award on 1st June 2026, and the contract is set to run from 1st January 2027 to 31st December 2031.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in software maintenance and information systems to gain a substantial contract with a public sector entity. Although the procurement process has concluded, similar opportunities could benefit large-scale software companies that specialise in sustainable support solutions for governmental revenue and benefit systems. SMEs and VCSEs were not primarily targeted for this particular contract, as the procurement suitability indicated a lean towards larger enterprises.
