UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority has finalised the award for its "CPCA E Procurement Solution" project, a procurement of a new e-procurement system. Classified under IT services, the initiative aims to enhance transparency, auditability, and efficiency across its procurement processes. The procurement, conducted under the "Below threshold - without competition" method, was carried out directly and has now reached the completed stage, with the contract commencing on 10th December 2025 and continuing until 30th November 2028. The project is tied to the region of UKH12, specifically Huntingdon, United Kingdom, and addresses the legal needs as per UKPGA 2023/54. The awarded contract is valued at £101,435, excluding VAT, with the potential for a 12-month extension plus a further optional 12 months.

This tender provides significant opportunities for providers of IT services who are keen to offer robust e-procurement solutions. Businesses engaged in consulting, software development, internet services, and support are particularly well-suited to benefit, given the industry category of the procurement. Those looking to supply transparent and efficient procurement systems will find this a valuable chance to reinforce their market presence and cultivate a long-term relationship with a sub-central government authority. Furthermore, since the procurement was issued without competition below the threshold, it highlights the urgency and specificity with which the solutions needed are being sought, appealing to specialist firms ready to deliver immediate, custom-tailored solutions.
