Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Portsmouth City Council, a sub-central government public authority, focused on delivering a new Visit Portsmouth website CRM. Categorised under software package and information systems, the contract was awarded to GRANICUS-FIRMSTEP LIMITED. The awarding took place on 10th March 2025, formalising a contract worth £77,763, with an active period from 1st September 2025 to 1st September 2028, and includes an option for a two-year extension. This contract follows a direct procurement method, executed below the competition threshold, indicative of a straightforward procurement without a competitive tender process. The delivery is located in Portsmouth, serving the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This contract presents valuable business growth opportunities, especially for companies specialising in software development and information systems. SME organisations experienced in developing CRM and website projects within the public sector could benefit significantly by aligning with similar direct procurement methods. The lack of a competitive tender streamlines the opportunity for businesses with a direct approach, allowing them to foster relationships with local authority clients such as Portsmouth City Council. Competing for sub-central government projects requires not only technological expertise but also an understanding of public sector procurement mechanisms.
