Summary of the contracting process

South Tyneside Council has successfully awarded a contract for the provision of a digital marketplace under the title "Digital Marketplace". This procurement falls within the industry category of miscellaneous business and business-related services and is located in the North East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement process is in the award stage, with the contract period commencing on 1st June 2025 and concluding on 23rd January 2027. The procurement method utilised was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, valuing the awarded contract at £250,000. Key stakeholders include South Tyneside Council as the buyer, and Amazon Business EU SARL as the supplier/vendor.

The awarded contract presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), given its suitability criteria favouring such organisations, albeit excluding those classified as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Businesses offering digital platform solutions or services related to business operations could greatly benefit from this framework-based procurement approach, which may lead to future opportunities or extensions within the digital services sector. Competing in such selective procurement processes could help businesses establish long-term relationships with local councils and expand their presence in public sector markets.
