Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Torus Group procured a software subscription service: renewal of its Delta E-Tendering Portal subscription. The requirement is for continued access to and use of an electronic tendering and procurement portal, rather than software development or general IT support. It is classified as software supply services (CPV 72268000) and falls within services procurement. Delivery is associated with Torus Group’s operations in St Helens and the wider North West of England. Torus Group is the buying organisation. The requirement demonstrates demand for established e-tendering technology that supports public-sector procurement activity over a sustained contract term.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. BIP SOLUTIONS LIMITED was selected as supplier, with an award value of £31,500. The award date was 27 July 2026. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. The tender submission deadline was 20 July 2026. It was conducted as a tender for services, with the procurement method described as “Not specified”. The requirement was presented as a single service and no lot-specific awards were reported. The published process records the award as active, with Torus Group as buyer and BIP SOLUTIONS LIMITED as the awarded supplier.

This award is commercially relevant to established providers of e-tendering portals, procurement software subscriptions and associated software supply services. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide a functioning Delta E-Tendering Portal subscription or equivalent capability that supports the buyer’s ongoing electronic tendering activity. The buyer’s selection of BIP SOLUTIONS LIMITED, recorded as a large organisation, indicates a requirement suited to a supplier able to sustain a substantial organisational relationship and deliver reliable service throughout a multi-year term. The opportunity is less suited to SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, which the procurement records as unsuitable for participation.
