Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council recently completed a procurement process for the renewal of their FireWatch HR system and mobilising system, valued at £410,097. The procurement was conducted as a direct award using a single tender action (below threshold), with INFOGRAPHICS UK LTD serving as the supplier. This contract falls under the services category, specifically in software-related services, and is located in the South East of the United Kingdom, with procurement activities primarily occurring in Chichester. The contract period is scheduled from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2028. This procurement stage is at the award level, with the award date being 25th March 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software-related services, particularly those capable of servicing governmental HR and mobilisation systems. Though INFOGRAPHICS UK LTD was awarded the contract, the continued demand for such services by public entities like West Sussex County Council can steer growth for tech firms aiming to expand their public sector presence. Businesses that are equipped with relevant technological solutions, have a proficient understanding of government systems, and possess the capability to manage sizable projects will find themselves well-suited to participate in similar future tenders. Given the procurement method, it's essential for businesses to establish strong relationships with public authorities to be considered for direct award contracts.
