Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Uttlesford District Council procured web content management software: a web-content management system intended for the council’s digital publishing and information-management needs. The requirement covers software and associated information systems, classified under CPV 48000000, and is treated as a goods procurement. Delivery is for the East of England, with the council based in Saffron Walden, England. The procurement was made through the Government Commercial Agency Back Office Software 2 framework, so the relevant market is suppliers able to provide web content management platforms through that framework route. The selected solution is supplied by GOSS Interactive Limited, a software provider based in London. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to established specialist software businesses as well as larger suppliers operating in this market.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. It was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, with bids due by 1 July 2026 at 12:00. Uttlesford District Council awarded the contract to GOSS Interactive Limited on 1 July 2026 for £119,310 including the stated currency, against an estimated range of £78,164 to £119,310. The contract runs from 28 July 2026 to 27 August 2028. The award description provides for an optional additional 12-month extension. The process was conducted as a framework call-off for goods. The published information identifies the requirement as web content management software and records the award outcome, supplier and contract term; it does not set out a separate price-versus-quality weighting or lot structure.

This award provides a clear example of Uttlesford District Council’s demand for a council-scale web content management system delivered through a public-sector software framework. Suppliers competing for comparable future work would need a proven web content management platform, the ability to support public-sector digital publishing and information-management requirements, and access to the relevant framework route for call-off competitions. Credibility would also depend on delivering software for a local authority and supporting implementation and operation across the East of England. The opportunity is suitable for SMEs, so specialist technology firms may be able to compete alongside larger providers if they can demonstrate an appropriate product, public-sector understanding and the capacity to sustain the service over a multi-year contract with potential extension.
