Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex County Council has recently completed a procurement process titled "SAP In Azure BAU Support," which was a direct award without competition for the ongoing support and maintenance of a SAP instance hosted in Microsoft Azure. This procurement falls under the "Software support services" industry category and includes additional classifications relevant to software consultancy and IT software maintenance. The procurement method was a single tender action below the threshold, reflecting a direct procurement approach. The contract commenced on 1st February 2026 and is set to run until 31st December 2026, with services to be delivered primarily in the South East region of the United Kingdom. The total value of the contract awarded to Sevil Consultant Ltd is £170,500.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses specialising in software support and maintenance, particularly those focusing on SAP systems and cloud-based solutions like Microsoft Azure. As the contract was awarded to a small and medium enterprise (SME), it demonstrates the council's willingness to engage with SMEs, thus encouraging businesses of similar sizes, especially in the IT consultation and support sectors, to explore future procurement opportunities with local governments. Such contracts can provide a significant boost in reputation and financial growth for small businesses adept in these specialised service areas.
