Summary of the contracting process

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has procured a public consultation engagement platform service. The requirement is for a tool to conduct the CMA’s public consultations; the tender description says Citizen Space is the tool in place. The procurement is classified as a software service (CPV 48480000). Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The CMA is the buying organisation. This is a focused requirement for provision of an online consultation platform, rather than a general software or marketing service.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Delib Limited. The award date was 24 March 2026, and the contract period runs from 25 March 2026 to 24 March 2028. The awarded value is £58,185. The procurement used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The original submission deadline was 24 March 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs. The contract is for consultation platform services; the award information records one selected supplier and one contract award. The purchase is a service, with the stated purpose of enabling the CMA to carry out public consultations.

For suppliers competing for a similar CMA requirement in future, the relevant capability is delivering and supporting an established digital platform for public consultations. The buyer’s stated use is to conduct its own consultations, and the incumbent tool is Citizen Space, so credible suppliers should be able to demonstrate comparable consultation functionality and the ability to sustain an existing platform rather than simply provide general-purpose software. This award shows demand for a focused service at modest scale, placed through a framework call-off, and shows that an SME supplier was selected. Firms with experience supporting public-sector consultation programmes and dependable platform operations would be well placed to evidence fit when this requirement returns to market. The procurement is specifically for the CMA’s consultation platform, not broader engagement or marketing services.
