This procurement process, classified under the "Software package and information systems" industry category, was conducted using a selective method as part of a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £126,381.95, covers the North West region of the United Kingdom and spans from 1st June 2024 to 31st May 2026. The contracting process, currently in the award stage, was completed on 1st May 2024, with an award notice published on 1st May 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software services and solutions, specifically those able to deliver complex information systems across regional government frameworks. While the structure of this procurement favoured larger enterprises, as indicated by the current supplier, CCS Media Ltd, smaller businesses seeking to expand their capabilities and recognition in the public sector could leverage similar tender processes in future engagements. Companies with the ability to meet the intricate requirements of local government entities would be well positioned to compete in this type of procurement.
