Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Camden has completed the procurement stage for the renewal of Remote Database Administration (RDBA) services for the NEC Housing platform. This falls under the IT services category, specifically consulting, software development, Internet, and support (CPV code 72000000). The contract, valued at £44,416.94, was awarded to NEC Software Solutions on 12th March 2025. The procurement was executed using a limited method without prior publication, due to the Council's perpetual licenses with NEC, making this a sole supplier setup. This service will be delivered remotely across various regions in the United Kingdom, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses involved in IT services, particularly those that specialise in remote database management and support for housing platforms. Though the specific procurement for RDBA services has been concluded, similar opportunities may arise for companies experienced in managing large-scale database systems and providing ongoing maintenance and support services. Companies that can offer innovative and efficient solutions for remote administration and have the capability to compete for sole source contracts may find this sector particularly lucrative for growth and partnership with regional authorities like the London Borough of Camden.
