Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured services for Voltage SecureMail, a secure email-related computer service, classified under computer equipment maintenance and repair. The council is the buyer and the requirement was for delivery in Chichester, West Sussex, with the procurement associated with the council’s premises at West Street, Chichester. The opportunity falls within the services category rather than goods or construction. The requirement is relevant to businesses that provide, support or maintain Voltage SecureMail or comparable secure email and computer equipment services for public sector organisations. The named purchasing organisation is West Sussex County Council, serving the West Sussex area.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded on 25 July 2026 to BOXXE LIMITED. The award value is £61,601.51 including the stated GBP currency. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. It was conducted using a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open standalone tender. The tender submission deadline was 18 July 2026 at 12:00. The tender’s estimated value was also £61,601.51. The award is recorded as active and the tender as complete. One supplier and one requirement are identified, with no lots separating the work.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from West Sussex County Council for Voltage SecureMail services delivered through a framework call-off. Suppliers considering future opportunities with this buyer would need capability in secure email provision or support, together with the technical ability to maintain and repair associated computer equipment. Experience of delivering managed technology services to a council or similarly structured public organisation would help demonstrate credibility, although the procurement data does not set out specific accreditations or minimum experience thresholds. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so an SME with the relevant technical service capability could be well placed to compete when this type of requirement returns to the market.
