Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process undertaken by Portsmouth City Council involves the acquisition of a PAMMS provider audit tool, with the contract awarded to ACCESS UK LTD. This process, categorised within the software package and information systems industry, has reached the award and contract stage, with these stages marked as complete and active, respectively. Centrally located in Portsmouth, the procurement initiative promises to deliver goods from this city within the United Kingdom's South East region (UKJ31). The buying organisation, classified as a public authority in sub-central government, engaged ACCESS UK LTD as a supplier, a small to medium-sized enterprise. Key dates include the contract commencement on 14th October 2025, extending potentially until 4th February 2030, ensuring long-term engagement opportunities.

This tender presents significant business growth prospects, particularly for firms specialising in software and information systems who can offer competitive solutions tailored to governmental requirements. Suppliers equipped with innovative audit tool technologies can expand their client base amongst local government authorities, and potentially renew contracts beyond the initial term, subject to the buying organisation's discretion. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with robust solutions and competitive pricing, like ACCESS UK LTD, are well-suited to thrive in such procurement landscapes, capitalising on opportunities to contribute effectively to governmental operational needs.
