Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council procured Culture Suite, a website support service for culture-related websites across Leeds and the wider Leeds area. The requirement falls within IT services, covering consulting, software development, internet and support activities. The buying organisation is Leeds City Council, based at Leeds Civic Hall. Delivery is associated with Leeds, including the LS1 1UR area, and the wider Yorkshire and the Humber region. The service is categorised as a professional service rather than goods or construction works. The stated purpose is to support the council’s culture sites, so relevant suppliers are those providing ongoing website support and related digital services for public-sector or cultural web platforms.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a direct award using Schedule 5. The tender response deadline was 9 July 2026 at 12:00, and the award was made on 19 August 2026. Leeds City Council awarded Culture Suite UK Limited the contract at £60,000. The contract period runs from 10 July 2026 to 9 July 2027. The award is active and covers the full requirement rather than separate lots. The process was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community or social enterprises. This was a single-supplier award, with the selected supplier responsible for the website support service.

This award indicates established demand from Leeds City Council for specialist support of culture-focused websites, delivered through a direct-award route rather than an open competition. Competitors seeking similar work from this buyer would need credible capability in website maintenance, technical support, internet services, software development and related consulting. They would also need to demonstrate the capacity to support multiple culture sites and maintain dependable service for a public-sector organisation. The recorded suitability assessment points towards larger suppliers rather than SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, while the selected supplier is classified as large. Experience supporting public-sector, cultural or multi-site web estates would therefore strengthen a supplier’s position when this requirement is next considered.
