Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process involves Ashford Borough Council, which has completed a tender titled "Revenues and Benefits Software". This contract falls under the industry category of Software package and information systems, as denoted by the CPV code 48000000. The contract, with a value of £422,411.90, was awarded to NEC Software Solutions UK Limited and is based in Ashford, England (postal code TN23 1HU). The procurement followed a selective method, specifically a call-off from a CCS framework agreement. The tender process concluded with the award phase on 9th October 2025, and the contract period spans from 1st October 2025 to 30th September 2030.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in software solutions, particularly those specialising in government and public sector applications. However, given the procurement method of a selective call-off from a framework agreement, it suggests a pre-established pool of potential suppliers. While small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) were not specifically targeted, large-scale enterprises such as NEC Software Solutions UK Limited, which possess the capacity to provide complex software systems, are well-suited to engage in similar future tenders. As public sector digitalisation continues, demand for sophisticated software solutions will elevate, offering considerable prospects for growth and collaboration.
