Summary of the contracting process

St.Helens Council has completed a procurement process for a "Revenue and Benefits system" under the CPV code 72000000, which covers IT services such as consulting, software development, Internet, and support. The contract, valued at £1,264,000, was awarded via a direct procurement method to NEC Software Solutions UK Limited. The contract period is set from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2030, and the tender falls under the services category. This procurement aimed at Vertical Application Solutions for Business Applications Solutions was initially planned with a tender period ending on 4th March 2025. The entire process has reached the award stage by 23rd March 2025, concluding the selection for this UK-based project.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in IT services and software solutions, particularly those capable of delivering comprehensive business application systems. Companies with a track record in providing efficient, scalable IT solutions could leverage this opportunity to expand their portfolio within the public sector. While the direct award method indicates predefined supplier selection, SMEs are encouraged to engage with similar opportunities in the future as St.Helens Council demonstrates openness to such enterprises, although not specifically in this case. Businesses aspiring to collaborate on large-scale projects and with infrastructure in place to support long-term service delivery would find this type of procurement appealing.
