Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by Rhondda Cynon Taf CBC, a sub-central government authority in Pontypridd, United Kingdom, involved a direct award for the "CDSM Thinqi Software Subscription Agreement." This process, initiated under the tender ID ocds-h6vhtk-05cfc6, focused on the renewal of a licensing agreement for software-related services. The contract, valued at £144,000 excluding VAT and £180,000 including VAT, is active from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2029. The procurement method used was 'below threshold - without competition,' and it falls under the services category, specifically focussed on the provision of the Central South Consortium's website via the Thinqi platform. The most recent update occurred on 20th October 2025.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for service providers specialising in software-related services, particularly those capable of delivering platform-based solutions. Businesses well-versed in delivering digital solutions to educational or governmental bodies should find themselves well-positioned to pursue similar future opportunities. The direct procurement approach used in this process suggests potential for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) that can offer specialised and essential services to government authorities without the need for extensive competitive processes. Engaging with authorities such as Rhondda Cynon Taf CBC could lead to long-term collaborative opportunities and business growth in the public sector software market.
