Summary of the contracting process

Epping Forest District Council has completed a procurement process for the provision of a cloud-hosted software solution to support its Public Protection Teams. This contract, under the CPV classification for software packages and information systems, was awarded to NEC Software Solutions UK Limited through a selective procedure, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. With a procurement value of £255,600, the contract spans from 1st April 2024 to 30th June 2026. The procurement stage has reached the "award" phase as of 10th October 2024, with delivery to the location Epping, postal code CM16 4BZ, England. The tender was marked as particularly suitable for SMEs, although it was not aimed at VCSEs.

This tender offers a significant opportunity for businesses involved in software solutions, particularly those capable of integrating cloud-based systems for public sector needs. SMEs that specialise in developing and implementing information systems would find this contract particularly beneficial, as the Council sought solutions to enhance their public protection services. Businesses looking to expand their portfolio into the public sector and gain experience in framework agreement procurement processes would also benefit by participating in such tenders. While NEC Software Solutions UK Limited ultimately secured the contract, similar opportunities continue to arise from such frameworks, encouraging competitive growth among tech firms.
