Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Camden recently completed its procurement process for commissioning webcasting systems to livestream and archive Council and committee meetings. The contract, titled "Commissioning of committee rooms and council chamber webcasting," falls under the IT services category, specifically consulting, software development, internet, and support, with a CPV code of 72000000. This procurement process, which used a limited method with no prior call for competition, highlighted the absence of market competition for technical reasons, resulting in the award being made solely to the supplier capable of meeting the requirements. The contract was signed on 15th October 2025, and Camden aims to enhance public accessibility to its meetings via the webcasting platform. The services will be delivered across various UK regions, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses in the IT services sector, particularly those specialising in consulting, software development, and internet solutions. Since the procurement was executed without competition due to the specialised nature of the requirement, companies that are well-suited include those offering niche technological solutions or possessing unique software capabilities that fulfil specific service requirements. The awarded supplier, Civico Limited, which operates at a large scale from Birmingham, was selected as the sole provider due to the lack of viable competition. Future opportunities may arise for other firms if similar technological gaps are identified for further public service enhancements within local government services.
