Summary of the contracting process

Bassetlaw District Council recently completed a procurement process under an open procedure, titled "ICT Service Support". This tender, initiated in October 2025, was designed to secure provision, installation, maintenance, and ongoing managed services for IT equipment and Ethernet services across Bassetlaw's managed business centres, specifically Middletons Yard and Retford Enterprise Centre, as well as The Bridge Skills Hub. The procurement process took place within the public sector services category, concluding in January 2026 with an award to Dukeries IT Ltd, a Worksop-based SME. Located in Worksop, UKF15 region, the project was planned with a critical timeline where the existing contract is set to expire by end June 2026, emphasizing the importance of ensuring business continuity through a smooth handover period. The total contract value is set at £1,448,886 GBP for an initial term ending in March 2029, with potential extensions up to March 2031, subject to council approval.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specializing in IT equipment and computer support services, particularly SMEs, given the emphasis on ongoing managed services and solutions in the East Midlands region. Companies that focus on providing integrated support and maintenance services can leverage this procurement to expand their operations, gaining a foothold into public sector opportunities. The scoring criteria of 65% quality and 35% price highlights a preference for firms that can demonstrate superior service delivery and innovation. Businesses adept in meeting such demands will be well-positioned to compete, paving the way for sustained growth and partnership with public authorities like the Bassetlaw District Council.
