Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cambridgeshire County Council procured cloud-based support for its Connecting Cambridgeshire requirements. The work covers database management, data quality assurance, analysis and mapping of digital connectivity data using a cloud-based system. It is a specialist digital connectivity and network management software service, with the related classification being network management software services (CPV 72511000). Delivery is across England. The council is based at New Shire Hall, Alconbury Weald, Huntingdon. The requirement is for service providers able to manage connectivity datasets and turn them into reliable analysis and mapped outputs for a public-sector connectivity programme.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Skeen Computing Services on 20 July 2026. The awarded contract value is £320,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 March 2029. The requirement was described as a 30-month contract with an option to extend by a further 12 months, giving a possible total duration of four years including the extension. The tender deadline was 10 June 2026 at 4pm. This was a call-off from the G-Cloud 14 Framework, using the procurement route described as ‘Other’. The service category was services, and the opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates demand from Cambridgeshire County Council for specialist cloud support tied to digital connectivity. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical capability in database administration, data quality assurance, analytical work and mapping, together with experience using cloud-based systems to manage connectivity information. The work calls for more than generic software hosting: suppliers need to produce dependable, usable data and insight for a connectivity programme. A small or medium-sized technology business can be well placed if it can demonstrate relevant delivery experience, strong data governance, mapping and analysis skills, and the capacity to support a council-wide service through a framework call-off route.
