Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Westmorland and Furness Council has awarded a contract for the renewal of a BluePrism (On-Prem) subscription, specifically for four licences, to support their Digital Team. The council, located in Carlisle, England, initiated this procurement process through a direct award method. The awarded contract is valued at £40,940 and falls under the software package and information systems industry category. The contract period commenced on 9th May 2025 and is set to conclude by 8th May 2026. Notably, the procurement process has moved beyond the tender stage and is now in the award stage as of 20th May 2025, with the release of the award notice on Contracts Finder.

The contract presents an opportunity for businesses like Outsource Automation Sol Ltd, who are experienced in software solutions and have the capacity to provide comprehensive support for such digital transformations. While this tender was directly awarded, similar opportunities can offer significant benefits for firms large enough to handle substantial digital projects. Businesses specialising in automated solutions, particularly those that can facilitate effective software package implementations, can capitalise on the demand from public sector organisations seeking to enhance their digital capabilities. With the right credentials, these projects can lead to extended relationships and future procurement prospects with governmental bodies seeking technological advancements.
