Summary of the contracting process

Kent County Council has completed the procurement process for a contract titled "Akamai License" within the Software package and information systems industry. This contract involves the supply of 400 licenses for the In-Touch Devices and is valued at £57,024. The procurement method used was selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender stage has concluded with the contract awarded on 5th December 2024, and the contract period will commence on 2nd January 2025, lasting until 31st July 2026. The services will be delivered in the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in software packages and information systems. The selective procurement method suggests that the competition was limited to businesses pre-qualified under the framework agreement, favouring established suppliers with relevant experience. Companies equipped to provide software solutions and manage large-scale licensing agreements offer a good fit for this type of procurement. Businesses in this sector can leverage such contracts to expand their market presence and demonstrate their capability in delivering high-volume, high-value software services. Kent County Council’s partnership with Akamai Technologies Limited highlights the importance of being part of critical frameworks to access similar future opportunities.
