Summary of the contracting process

Torbay Council has successfully completed its procurement process for the "NEC Licence" contract, aimed at providing an eLicence for Council and SWISCo staff to use the NEC3 and NEC4 suite of contracts. The procurement, classified under CPV code 79000000 (Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security), took place in the South West region of the United Kingdom. Using a direct award via waiver procurement method, Torbay Council awarded the contract to Thomas Telford Ltd. The contract period runs from 11 March 2025 to 10 March 2026, with a contract value of GBP 28,392.

This tender provides significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in electronic licensing and business services, especially those capable of providing comprehensive contract suites like NEC3 and NEC4. While this procurement was directly awarded and not open to competition, similar future opportunities may be suitable for well-established companies in the business services sector. Large-scale businesses, particularly those with experience in managing and supplying complex contract solutions, would find this type of tender advantageous for broadening their portfolio and establishing long-term relationships with public sector clients.
