Summary of the contracting process

The Government Commercial Agency procured a tender tracking service as a software and information-systems service. The requirement is to provide tender-tracking capability for the UK public sector, with delivery across the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is the Government Commercial Agency, with the procurement managed through Crown Commercial Service on behalf of the Cabinet Office. This is a service contract rather than a goods supply or construction project. The selected supplier, Tussell Limited, is based in London and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The requirement is focused on tracking and managing tender information, making it relevant to providers of procurement intelligence, tender-monitoring platforms and related information services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 31 March 2025, and the contract was awarded to Tussell Limited on the same date. The awarded value is £28,100, against an estimated procurement value of £28,660. The contract runs from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2027. The award is active, and signed-contract documentation is recorded. The procurement was for services and was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. No lots or separate awards are recorded.

This award shows that the Government Commercial Agency buys specialist tender-tracking services through a framework call-off, creating a useful benchmark for suppliers targeting public-sector procurement intelligence work. Businesses would need a proven capability to collect, monitor and present tender information in a dependable software or information-system service, with coverage suitable for organisations operating across the United Kingdom. Relevant competitors are likely to combine procurement-market knowledge with a practical tender-monitoring platform, accurate data handling and clear user access to opportunities and updates. The requirement was awarded to an SME, showing that a smaller specialist provider can deliver this type of service, although the buying organisation did not classify the opportunity as SME-suitable.
