Summary of the contracting process

In a concluded procurement process, Chelmsford City Council sought to provide Microsoft Azure Service and Cloud Enrolment through a call-off from the KCS Software Products and Associated Services framework. The procurement, focused on software packages and information systems, was conducted using a selective method as part of a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to Phoenix Software Limited, with a total value of £310,000, for the period starting from 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2028. Located in Chelmsford, CM1 1JE, the process advanced into the award stage on 13 October 2025, following the tender period that ended on 1 October 2025.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software packages and information systems, particularly those capable of engaging in framework agreements. With a focus on goods, it is particularly suitable for medium to large businesses that are not exclusively VCSEs, given the nature of the procurement. The long contract duration presents ample opportunity for sustained business growth and the establishment of a robust partnership with Chelmsford City Council. Companies with experience in large-scale public sector contracts, like Phoenix Software Limited, are well-positioned to engage in such projects and enhance their market presence.
