Summary of the contracting process

Ashford Borough Council, located in Ashford, United Kingdom, was involved in a public procurement process for NNDR Processing services. The tender was initially announced as part of a planned procurement stage, with documentation published on 11 April 2025. The process falls under the data-processing services category and was initially set to begin on 1 November 2025, with a contract period running until 31 October 2030. However, a notice of cancellation was issued on 31 July 2025, effectively withdrawing the tender due to a decision to use a direct award process below the threshold. The procurement was governed by the UKPGA 2023/54 legal framework.

This tender offered opportunities in the domain of data-processing services, ideal for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with experience in public sector contracts. Despite its cancellation, similar future opportunities could benefit companies with capabilities in managing public authority data processes and keen on entering or expanding within the UK public sector market. SMEs with specialisation in data-processing services would be well-suited to track developments from Ashford Borough Council for potential future openings, considering the indicative communication for future notice dates as laid out in the procurement plan.
