Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Redditch Borough Council procured software and information-systems services through the HTE Framework HTE-011008. The requirement is described as products and services supplied via that framework, placing it within the business software, IT systems and related technology services market. Delivery is for the council in England, with the buying organisation based at Redditch Town Hall. This is a services procurement rather than a works or goods-only requirement. Businesses operating as software resellers, technology service providers, systems suppliers or framework providers would be the closest commercial match. The named buyer is Redditch Borough Council, while the selected supplier is Softcat plc. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, although this award was made to a large supplier.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 30 July 2026 following a direct award via the HTE Framework. The selected supplier is Softcat plc, with an awarded value of £184,847 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 31 July 2026 to 31 July 2029. The tender submission deadline was 1 July 2026 at 23:59. The procurement used a direct-award route rather than an open competition, and the published description identifies the HTE framework as the route used. The award is active. The contract covers services relating to software packages and information systems for Redditch Borough Council, delivered in England. There are no separate lots or multiple awarded suppliers recorded.

This award demonstrates demand from Redditch Borough Council for software products and associated information-systems services acquired through the HTE Framework. A credible future competitor would need access to the relevant framework route, or to an equivalent public-sector purchasing arrangement, together with the ability to supply and support business software and IT systems for a council environment. The successful supplier profile indicates that broad technology product availability, established distribution capability and the capacity to manage a public-sector service relationship are commercially relevant. Smaller firms may also be well placed because the requirement is marked as suitable for SMEs, provided they can meet the framework and service-delivery requirements. The opportunity is particularly relevant to software resellers, systems integrators and managed technology providers serving local government.
