Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames has successfully completed a procurement process to secure a productivity solution, specifically the Google Workspace, for operations including email, calendar, virtual meetings, and AI tools spanning from 2025 to 2030. This contract falls under the office automation software package category, valued at £5,387,463, and was awarded through a direct award method to XMA Limited. The award, initiated as a tender, is currently in the 'award' stage. This procurement is classified under the goods category, with locations covering the UK, the British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and internationally, following the completion date of the tender period on 30 April 2025.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses involved in office automation software products, especially those adept at handling large-scale productivity solutions. As a direct award, it is particularly advantageous for businesses that can offer tailored solutions quickly and efficiently. While the contract was awarded to a large company, small and medium-sized enterprises could find similar opportunities attractive if they can demonstrate proficiency in technology integration and maintenance. Businesses that have the capability to collaborate with government agencies and support complex digital transformation initiatives would be well-suited to compete in analogous procurement processes in the future.
