Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured renewal of its Atamis contract lifecycle management (CLM) system. The requirement is for industry-specific software and associated services that support the council’s management of contracts through a CLM platform. The buying organisation is West Sussex County Council, based in Chichester, and delivery is associated with Chichester and the South East of England. The procurement is categorised as services and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The named supplier, Atamis Limited, is a Cardiff-based SME specialising in the Atamis CLM product. This requirement will suit software providers, implementation partners and support specialists with a direct capability in Atamis or comparable contract lifecycle management systems, particularly those able to support a local authority environment.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure through a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 18 May 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to ATAMIS LIMITED on 25 May 2026 for £346,560 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2029. The award is active. The procurement was evaluated as a single services requirement for renewing the Atamis CLM system, with no separate lots identified. The published process records West Sussex County Council as the buyer and Atamis Limited as the selected supplier. The award outcome therefore confirms the council’s chosen route and supplier for this renewal.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award is a clear indicator of demand from West Sussex County Council for specialist contract lifecycle management software and related support. The successful supplier was an SME with a direct connection to the Atamis product, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a large generalist technology provider. A credible competitor for the council’s next requirement would need demonstrable expertise in Atamis CLM, software renewal and ongoing service support, together with the capacity to maintain a system used by a public-sector organisation. Familiarity with framework call-offs and local-authority procurement would also strengthen a future proposition. Providers of comparable CLM platforms should treat this as evidence of a defined, recurring software need rather than a broad technology opportunity.
