Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the Borough of Kirklees has successfully completed the procurement process for upgrading the electronic point of sale (EPOS) systems used in museums and galleries, with Independent Equipment Company being awarded the contract. This procurement, classified under IT services such as consulting and software development, falls within the 'services' category. The location of the service delivery is Huddersfield, United Kingdom, with the procurement employing a limited competition method. The contract is valued at £11,474 GBP and spans from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2027, having been signed on 20th March 2025. This procurement aligns with the legal framework of the 2023/54 UK Public Procurement Act.

This project presents a potential avenue for business expansion particularly for large enterprises proficient in IT services, including consulting and software development. Such businesses, especially those with capabilities in offering high-quality EPOS system upgrades, stand to thrive as regional subcontractors or partners in similar public-sector projects. The limited competition nature of the tender suggests opportunities for businesses that can provide niche, tailored solutions within the designated scope and have a proven track record in delivering innovative technology services. Businesses in proximity to the Yorkshire region could further provide added value through local insights and logistical advantages.
