Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Epping Forest District Council has culminated in the award for the "Appointment of a Supplier for the provision of the Government Experience Cloud software". This process falls under the industry-specific software package category and was conducted through a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The project is located in England, with services expected to be delivered to a postcode of CM16 4BZ. Key timelines for the contract include the contract start date on 31 March 2025 and end date on 30 March 2026, with a potential one-year extension option. The award stage was reached and published on 18 June 2025, with Granicus-Firmstep Limited appointed as the supplier.

This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for companies specialising in industry-specific software solutions, especially those already engaged in framework agreements such as G-Cloud 14. It is ideally suited for established large-scale suppliers that can deliver comprehensive cloud software solutions. However, as Epping Forest District Council indicated suitability for SMEs, small to medium enterprises could also find lucrative prospects provided they are able to scale their offerings and meet the project requirements.
