Summary of the contracting process

The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London has completed the public procurement process for the "Op Creative Portal - PIPCU" project, which falls under the industry category of "Software package and information systems" (CPV: 48000000). This direct award contract, facilitated by Softcat Ltd via EEM IT Ressler Framework, encompasses the development of a creative portal, with primary delivery in London, United Kingdom (postal code: EC2M 4NP). The total contract value is GBP 139,784.25. The contract period will start on 1st March 2025 and end on 29th February 2028, following the award on 14th February 2025. The procurement method used was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, signifying a focused and refined selection process.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in software development and information systems to engage with significant public sector projects. However, the procurement was not specifically geared towards SMEs or VCSEs. Large-scale enterprises similar to Softcat Ltd, with extensive resources and expertise in delivering complex IT solutions, would be well-positioned to participate in such procurements in the future. The duration and scope of the project indicate a stable and potentially profitable engagement for businesses willing to provide dedicated and expert services in the public sector IT landscape.
