Summary of the contracting process

West Northamptonshire Council has completed the procurement process for their "CCN Annual Subscription 2025/26." This procurement falls under the industry category of subscription services and entails an annual subscription to the County Councils Network for the year 2025/26. The contract, valued at £36,000, started on 1st April 2025 and will end on 31st March 2026. The procurement method used was a direct award to a single supplier, County Councils Network, indicating a non-competitive selection process. The procurement stage has reached the award stage, with the award status currently active as of 10th April 2025.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involved in the provision of subscription services. While the direct award method and existing supplier might suggest limited opportunities for competitive bidding, businesses that offer similar services could still benefit by positioning themselves for future opportunities or related requirements that West Northamptonshire Council may have. Establishing a strong relationship with the Council could pave the way for inclusion in subsequent procurement processes. Thus, companies in the subscription services industry who can offer high-quality and cost-effective solutions should consider engaging with such public sector bodies to promote their services.
