Summary of the contracting process

The North Yorkshire Council has recently completed a public procurement process for a contract titled "Secure Email," aimed at providing a software service enabling users to send secure emails and large attachments. This contract spans over two years, commencing from 1st June 2025 and concluding on 11th July 2027. The procurement fell under the industry category of software packages and information systems. Geographically, the scope covers the United Kingdom, specifically the region of UKE. With a direct procurement method employed, the process was below threshold and carried out without competition. As of 13th October 2025, the procurement stage is complete, with the award made to ZIVVER LIMITED, the sole supplier for this contract, for a gross amount of £127,200.

This tender presents a promising opportunity for businesses, particularly those in the software and IT services sector, to explore similar future contracts with sub-central government bodies. Given its nature as a secure email service provider, companies specialising in cybersecurity, data protection, and digital communication technologies are ideally positioned to benefit from the growth opportunities arising from such procurement engagements. The absence of competition in the procurement process highlights a potential opening for new or smaller enterprises seeking collaborations with government entities, as long as they comply with the set standards and requirements.
