Summary of the contracting process

Thurrock Borough Council has recently completed a procurement process for a software reseller contract, focusing on miscellaneous software packages and computer systems under the industry category "services." The procurement was conducted using a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, with a total contract value of £900,000. The contract, which was awarded to Bytes Software Services Limited, will run from 1st September 2024 to 31st August 2027, serving the East of England region in the United Kingdom. Key dates include the tender period end on 17th May 2024 and the award date on 27th August 2024.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in software reselling, especially those capable of delivering diverse, non-Microsoft software licences. Although the procurement specifically excludes SMEs and VCSEs, larger businesses with the necessary scale and capabilities stand to benefit greatly from securing such a substantial contract. Engaging with public sector contracts like this can provide a stable and potentially lucrative revenue stream, helping businesses to expand their market presence and reinforce their position in the software industry.
