Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Uniform package subscription" contract was conducted by Ipswich Borough Council in the East of England. This contract falls under the category of document creation, drawing, imaging, scheduling, and productivity software packages. It was initiated as a selective procurement through a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period concluded on the 1st of March 2025, with the contract period commencing on the 1st of April 2025 and set to end on the 31st of March 2028. The total contract value is £188,704, and the procurement process has reached the award stage, as of 24th June 2025.

This tender presents potential growth opportunities for businesses specialising in software development and IT services, particularly those with expertise in productivity software solutions. However, while small and medium enterprises (SMEs) might find this contract beneficial to their portfolio, the current awarded supplier, Idox Software Ltd, is noted for its established SME status. The selective procurement method and framework agreement suggest that businesses already on the relevant framework and offering complementary software services would be well-suited to engage in similar future opportunities.
