Summary of the contracting process

The Pension Protection Fund (PPF) has concluded a procurement process titled "Sitecore Services," focused on the implementation, training, support, and maintenance for its corporate and member websites. The initiative falls under the industry category of content management software development services (CPV 72212783). The buying organisation, located in Croydon, England, conducted the procurement process through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The initial contract term began on 10th December 2021 and originally spanned 24 months, with options to extend for two additional 12-month periods. The procurement process has now been extended, with the final extended term expiring on 9th December 2025, and the total estimated value for the full term reaching £1,120,350 GBP. Clerkswell Limited, based in London, was awarded the contract on 13th October 2021, following a tender that ended on 13th September 2021.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in content management software development services. Given the selective nature of the procurement method and the substantial contract value, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) engaged in this niche industry would be particularly well-suited to compete. The contract provides avenues for SMEs to expand their portfolio by collaborating with a prominent entity such as the PPF, potentially paving the way for future procurement opportunities within the public sector. Additionally, the nature of the services required encompasses various aspects like implementation, training, and ongoing support, allowing businesses to showcase their comprehensive service capabilities.
