Summary of the contracting process

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council has successfully completed the procurement process for an IT Asset Management Solution, valued at £138,210, under the "Award" stage. The Council, located in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, sought to manage its IT assets, including hardware and software, to optimise costs and ensure compliance with software licences. The procurement, classified under the CPV code "Software package and information systems", involved a selective process via a restricted procedure. XMA Ltd, a large supplier, was awarded the contract from 21 May 2025 to 20 May 2027. Although the tender period ended on 20 May 2025, businesses focused on services can still view opportunities in the relevant field and geographical areas including British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, and the United Kingdom.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in IT solutions, particularly those that offer asset management services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are identified as suitable to compete, thanks to the procurement's suitability criteria. By providing innovative IT solutions, businesses can grow through contracts like this, especially if they align with Barnsley Council's objectives of cost optimisation and compliance management. Collaborative opportunities in similar upcoming tenders and contracts, especially within the software and information systems industry, could be instrumental in expanding business reach and influence.
