Summary of the contracting process

West Northamptonshire Council has completed the procurement process for a Blue Badge Solution, awarded to Pentagull Ltd under a selective procurement method. This procurement was conducted as a call-off from a G-Cloud 14 framework agreement, specifically targeting services in the administration software package category. The procurement process concluded on 17th July 2025, with the contract set to run from 1st October 2025 to 30th September 2028. The awarded contract, valued at £49,480, covers services in the North West region of the United Kingdom. The contracting process was in the award stage as of 16th October 2025.

The Blue Badge Solution contract offers substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as indicated by its suitability criteria. Organisations skilled in providing administration software services could significantly benefit from this opportunity. Businesses familiar with public sector frameworks, especially those with a track record of supplying to councils or similar entities, are ideally positioned to compete in similar future opportunities. The straightforward nature of the selective procurement method may also streamline participation for experienced suppliers in this industry category.
