Summary of the contracting process

Incommunities Limited procured Salesforce software licences, information systems and support services to continue and expand an existing Salesforce platform across its business. The requirement supports the ongoing implementation of the Salesforce technology stack, maintaining compatibility with the organisation’s bespoke solution, existing systems and equipment. The work concerns software packages and information systems, including the associated support needed for operation and maintenance. Delivery covers England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The buyer is Incommunities Limited, based in Bradford. The requirement is relevant to Salesforce, software licensing and information systems providers, particularly those able to support an established enterprise platform rather than introduce a wholly different technology.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award. Salesforce UK Limited was selected for the single lot. The award value is £4,500,000 gross. The associated contract was signed on 1 May 2026 and has a value of £2,148,948 gross. Its contract period runs from 1 May 2026 to 30 April 2030, with an option, at the client’s discretion, to extend for up to a further five years in 12-month increments, giving a maximum end date of 30 April 2035. The direct-award rationale was the existing Salesforce implementation, the need for compatibility with current systems and equipment, and the disproportionate technical challenges and operational impact of changing platform. The award was above the relevant threshold.

This award demonstrates substantial, continuing demand from Incommunities for Salesforce licences, information systems and support around an established, bespoke business platform. A supplier seeking to compete when this requirement next reaches the market would need strong Salesforce capability, including licensing expertise, implementation support, system integration and dependable ongoing maintenance. Credibility would depend on understanding the buyer’s existing Salesforce stack and back-office environment, preserving compatibility and limiting disruption to business operations. Providers with the capacity to support an organisation-wide enterprise deployment across England would be better placed than small, narrowly focused software resellers. The direct-award reasoning also shows that demonstrable continuity, technical interoperability and knowledge of the incumbent configuration are commercially important considerations for this buyer.
