Summary of the contracting process

West Northamptonshire Council has awarded a contract for the "Ferret Renovator Software" under the IT services category, which includes consulting, software development, and support. The procurement process followed a limited method, specifically a negotiated procedure without prior publication, ensuring continuity with the incumbent supplier. The contract, valued at £100,295, started on 1st October 2024 and will run until 31st March 2026. Located in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom, this procurement stage has been completed and falls under the award tag as of 20th August 2025.

This tender presents growth opportunities particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) keen on delivering IT services such as software development and consulting. While the contract was awarded to NEC Software Solutions UK Ltd, businesses offering similar proficiency in the IT field could benefit from future opportunities by crafting competitive solutions that align with the council's needs. Companies located near the East Midlands region or those with a strong presence in the UK are well-suited to engage in comparable negotiations and projects moving forward.
