Summary of the contracting process

Wirral Borough Council procured web hosting services for its website or online services, classified under IT and internet services (CPV 72000000). The recorded delivery location is England. This is a hosting requirement rather than a broader software development or IT support contract; the published scope does not describe particular hosting platforms, technical specifications or service outputs.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Webcurl Ltd. on 16 February 2024. The award value was £62,800. The contract period runs from 28 February 2024 to 27 February 2027. Wirral Borough Council used a restricted procedure, with a selective procurement method, and set a response deadline of 25 January 2024 at 12:00 UTC. The requirement was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. No award evaluation criteria or lot arrangements are recorded in the procurement details.

The award demonstrates a defined requirement from Wirral Borough Council for web hosting, delivered under a multi-year contract through a restricted procurement route. A supplier positioning for a comparable future requirement would need to show it can provide dependable hosting services over an extended contract period and meet the council’s technical and operational needs. The successful supplier was identified as an SME, although the procurement was not designated as suitable for SMEs; this is evidence of the supplier selected, not an assurance that future competitions will be accessible to smaller firms. Hosting businesses with relevant public-sector delivery experience and the capacity to support a council service would be best placed to establish credibility when this buyer next specifies the requirement.
