Summary of the contracting process

Westminster City Council has completed a procurement process for the renewal of the Aptem CRM System Licence, specifically for vocational training management, for the 2025/26 period. This selective procurement, valued at £26,000, was carried out through a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender was classified under industry-specific software package (CPV 48100000), with all services to be delivered in London, UK. The procurement process has proceeded from the tender stage, with the contract awarded on 3rd February 2025 and effective from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) involved in providing software as a service (SaaS) solutions, particularly those specialising in educational and vocational training management systems. Businesses capable of delivering robust CRM systems tailored to the needs of local authorities in managing apprenticeships would be well-suited to compete in similar future tendaries. The successful engagement with Westminster City Council, a prominent public sector buyer, can enhance a company's portfolio and potentially lead to further public sector contracts.
