Summary of the contracting process

Newcastle City Council has completed the procurement process for the "009111 - ATN Customer and Debtor Automated Engagement Platform (2025)" within the services industry category. Located in Newcastle Upon Tyne, UKC22 region, the council utilised a direct procurement method for this project, deemed below the threshold without competition. The contract, which was awarded on 21st November 2025, is scheduled from 5th July 2025 to 4th July 2026. This procurement process, characterized by a lack of formal competitive tendering, reflects a strategic decision to directly engage with a suitable supplier for specific IT services involving software and information systems.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities especially for SMEs specialising in IT services, including consulting, software development, and support. With VOICESCAPE LIMITED, an SME based in Salford, already awarded the contract, similar technology-oriented SMEs can consider building strong relationships with public authorities like Newcastle City Council for future opportunities. Companies with a focus on developing automated engagement platforms or adept in software package systems are particularly well-suited to compete in this space, offering innovative solutions that can enhance citizen interaction and debt management efficiency for local government bodies.
