Summary of the contracting process

The Growth Company is seeking to appoint multiple service providers for a Framework Contract titled "Framework for Software Development" to deliver software development services across their organisation. The procurement process is currently at the Award stage, with active contracts beginning from 21 January 2021 and lasting until 31 December 2021. The total contract value is £3,000,000, with an initial programme of work commissioned by the GC Business Growth Hub. This opportunity is targeted at businesses capable of delivering high-quality software programming and consultancy services, primarily in the North West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement was executed through an Accelerated Open procedure aimed at meeting urgent digital service needs arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, with the tender period having closed on 16 December 2020.

This Framework Contract opens significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in software development, governance, and transformation services. Businesses that excel in providing value-for-money solutions while effectively coordinating with third-party contractors will be particularly well-suited to compete. With up to four providers being appointed, successful firms can anticipate a collaborative partnership with the Growth Company, enhancing their portfolios through various mini-competitions for subsequent project work throughout the contract's duration.
