Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Luton Council procured remote database administration backup support for its primary local database administrator, covering Capita’s Revenues and Benefits system. This is specialist IT support for the ongoing operation of a council revenues and benefits platform, rather than a general software supply or implementation project. The work is for Luton Council and is associated with Luton, United Kingdom. The requirement is to provide remote DBA cover to support the council’s existing local resource. The procurement was categorised as services and classified under software packages and information systems (CPV 48000000).

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded directly to Civica UK Limited. The award was made on 29 September 2026, at a value of £87,569. The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2028, with a stated term of 2+1. The stated tender deadline was 7 August 2026 at 5pm. The procurement used a direct award route. The published information describes one requirement and gives no separate lots or evaluation criteria; the outcome recorded is an active award to Civica UK Limited.

This award shows demand from Luton Council for remote database administration backup focused on Capita Revenues and Benefits, alongside the council’s in-house primary DBA. Suppliers competing for a comparable requirement would need credible capability to provide dependable remote DBA cover for a live revenues and benefits system and to work effectively with an existing local database administrator. Relevant experience supporting Capita’s platform and understanding the operational needs of council revenue and benefits services would be directly pertinent. The contract was awarded by direct award to Civica UK Limited, indicating that the selected supplier was able to meet this buyer’s specific support requirement through that route. The work is a focused specialist service, rather than a broad IT support package.
