Dartford Borough Council has completed a public procurement process for a two-year Verj.io on-premises subscription aimed at remotely managing the Council's on-premise CRM system. This direct procurement process was conducted below threshold, without competition, involving a single lot, and has been awarded to Neumann Systems. The contract, valued at £86,652 gross, was signed on 25th November 2025, and is set to run from 1st January 2026 to 31st December 2027.
