Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "Uniform Hosting" contract, led by Bassetlaw District Council, focuses on the transition of locally hosted servers to Idox's remote data centre, with accessibility provided through Citrix. Pertaining to the industry category of software-related services, this contract was awarded following a limited procurement method without prior publication, as the process was deemed to fall outside the directive's scope. The contracting authority, Bassetlaw District Council, is based in Worksop, with the services required in the UKF15 region. The procurement stage has reached completion, with the contract actively signed on 15th January 2025, for a value of £279,300 for the July instance and £335,160 for the May instance. Both contracts were awarded to IDOX Software Ltd.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for IT firms specialising in software hosting and remote access solutions. Companies with expertise in deploying and managing data centre technologies and those that can offer bespoke programming services for packaged software products stand to benefit. The procurement’s specialist nature and absence of competition highlight the demand for providers capable of delivering efficient, custom solutions, which aligns with Bassetlaw District Council's legislative needs in upgrading their Building Control software. Ideal businesses should have a robust understanding of legislative requirements and data hosting solutions to leverage similar procurement opportunities in future.
