Summary of the contracting process

The Eko Trust, a body governed by public law, has concluded the procurement process for its IT Support Services, awarding the contract to TURN IT ON LIMITED. This process was carried out under the selective procurement method, specifically through a restricted procedure. The procurement was aimed at service provision within the industry category of IT services including consulting, software development, Internet and support, with a focus on multi-site support across locations such as London. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract having been signed on 12th August 2025. The total value of the contract is £733,800, set to last for an initial 24 months with options for extension. The process incorporated a review period and was conducted under the legal basis of the European directive 2014/24/EU.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities, especially for IT support and service providers capable of delivering high-quality multi-site support over a wide geographic area, as highlighted by the award criteria. TURN IT ON LIMITED's successful bid suggests that businesses equipped with expertise in Google Workspace for Education and Microsoft 365 solutions, alongside strong staffing experience, are well-suited to compete in such tenders. The contract also indicates potential benefits for businesses looking to expand operations in educational support services, given Eko Trust's educational governing role and their requirement for an outsourced IT support partner to complement existing in-house capabilities.
