Summary of the contracting process

Luton Council has completed a procurement process for the "Development of a website for Skills, training and Employment," focusing on IT services. This project, classified under the industry category of services, will result in an interactive website showcasing skills, training, and job opportunities within Luton. The procurement process utilised a limited competition method, falling below the threshold. The contract commenced on 26 August 2025 and is set to run until 25 August 2027, with a potential 12-month renewal option. The entire project is valued at £51,840 GBP, with the contract officially signed on 21 August 2025.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in IT services, particularly those specialising in website development and internet-related support services. Such businesses can leverage this opportunity to expand their reach and showcase their expertise by providing technologically innovative solutions to public sector entities. Given the limited competition method used, small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with relevant capabilities in software development and consulting are well-placed to benefit from similar future contracts within the region. The awarded contract to MARY SEACOLE HOUSING ASSOCIATION LIMITED, a local SME, demonstrates that smaller scale enterprises can successfully compete and deliver on public authority projects.
