Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire County Council is seeking tenders for the provision of an email communications system, classified under software packages and information systems (CPV Code: 48000000). The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with submissions due by 27th September 2021 at 10:00 AM (BST). This open procedure invites all interested suppliers to submit their proposals electronically via the specified portal. The contract is expected to last for four years and focuses on a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solution that requires minimal customisation.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the software development and IT services industry, particularly those with experience in email communications systems and established products. Companies that can provide COTS solutions, emphasising quality and cost-effectiveness, are well-suited to compete. With the council's emphasis on branding adjustments rather than extensive development work, vendors that have ready-to-deploy products with proven track records could greatly benefit from this procurement opportunity.
