Summary of the contracting process

The Tees Valley Combined Authority has successfully completed the procurement of a new eSourcing Tendering Platform. This procurement falls under the industry category of IT services, specifically consulting, software development, and Internet support, and the contract was awarded to BiP Solutions. Located in the Teesside Airport Business Suite, Darlington, the authority represents a public authority within sub-central government. The procurement process, which followed a limited competition method below the threshold, has moved through both the award and contract stages and was finalised on 3rd September 2025. The contract commenced on 8th September 2025 and is set to run until 7th September 2030, covering regions UKC11, UKC12, and UKC13 in the United Kingdom.
