UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Oxfordshire District Council, located in Abingdon, has completed a procurement process for its Decision Management System - Agreement for licensing and support, involving industry-specific software packages and IT services, such as consulting and software development. The process, tagged as 'award' and 'contract', was finalised with the status set to 'complete' as of 29th August 2025. This was a direct procurement method, executed below threshold without competition, aimed at addressing the needs within the specified region (UKJ14) of the United Kingdom, with Civica UK Limited designated as the supplier. The contract commenced on 23rd August 2025 and is set to continue until 22nd August 2027, with an option for renewal for additional terms of 12 months.

This tender provides potential growth opportunities, especially for businesses in the IT services sector specialising in software development, consulting, and support services. Despite the procurement being completed without competition, entities with similar capabilities could anticipate future requirements from the council for enhancement, maintenance, or expansion, especially given the option for contract renewal. Large businesses, like Civica UK Limited, and those poised to offer competitive IT solutions and services in the public authority sector, particularly within sub-central government, will be well-suited to engage in future procurement processes initiated by South Oxfordshire District Council.
