Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council has recently completed a direct procurement process for a CFO Insights Platform, with an award to GRANT THORNTON UK LLP. This procurement, classified under the industry category of software-related services, is valued at £30,000. The contract will be executed over a three-year period, starting from 21st February 2025 to 20th February 2028, with the procurement method specified as a single tender action (below threshold). The project is located in the South East region of the United Kingdom, specifically associated with the postal code PO19 1RQ. This award, finalised on 25th September 2025, marks the conclusion of the award stage in the contracting process.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software-related services, particularly those capable of providing high-value insights platforms. GRANT THORNTON UK LLP, an established SME in the sector, has been selected due to their capability to deliver services that align with the council's objectives. While the process was conducted via a single tender action, businesses seeking to expand their portfolio in public sector contracts should note how smaller, agile firms can effectively meet targeted requirements, ensuring readiness for future opportunities in similar procurement processes.
