Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process was conducted by Bedford Borough Council, focusing on a contract for Drupal Cloud Hosting services. The procurement fell under the Information Technology Services category and was specifically aimed at cloud hosting solutions using Drupal. The procurement was conducted using a limited procedure through the Crown Commercial Services RM6237 Framework Agreement and was awarded without prior publication of a competitive call. The contract was awarded to Webcurl Ltd on 3rd November 2025, with a contract value of £42,000. This procurement process took place in the UK, particularly targeting the UKH region.

The awarded contract offers business growth opportunities primarily for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) engaged in the IT services sector, especially those with a focus on providing cloud hosting solutions. The procurement's limited method showcases an approach suitable for SMEs that can quickly respond to opportunities via established framework agreements. Webcurl Ltd's success in securing this contract without prior publication suggests that businesses with existing relationships within procurement frameworks and those capable of delivering specialised IT solutions might find similar future opportunities advantageous for growth and expansion.
