Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council, a sub-central government public authority located in Ipswich, UK, has completed the award stage for a contract involving the provision of a software integration platform. The procurement process pertained to the IT services industry, specifically software package and information systems, with a direct award procurement method due to the critical role the Boomi platform plays in integrating data across essential business systems. The total value of the contract awarded to Boomi Corporation Limited amounts to £1,059,600.62 gross, covering a period from 18 August 2025 to 2 August 2028, with a possible extension to August 2029 if necessary. The process moved swiftly through the planning, tender, and now the award stages, with the standstill period ending on 15 August 2025.

With Suffolk County Council's reliance on Boomi for critical system integration, extending or transitioning the service necessitates consistency and confidence in the supplier's capability. Companies with a robust track record in providing seamless integration of business-critical systems may benefit from participating in similar opportunities due to the technical intricacies and support requirements these contracts entail. Such procurements are crucial for enterprises aiming to reinforce their presence in public sector service provision, particularly those with expertise in addressing complex integration and support challenges.
