Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by Brighton and Hove City Council pertains to the provision and support of the Ubisecure Identity Server access control and identity management (IAM) software. Situated in Hove, with its office at Hove Town Hall, the buying organisation sought a supplier for the use of both on-premise and cloud-hosted software, accompanying maintenance, and product support. This service falls under the software package and information systems as well as IT services categories. The procurement stage reached completion, with a direct procurement method executed below the threshold without competition, awarded to Ubisecure Limited. The tender involved a contract period starting on 1st October 2025 and ending on 30th September 2028, while the contract was signed on 5th August 2025. The gross contract value amounted to £214,758.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for providers of IT services, especially those specialising in software development, consulting, and internet support, to collaborate with public authorities. Direct procurement methods used here indicate the council's preference for efficient supplier selection processes. Businesses capable of integrating software solutions, maintaining high-security standards in identity management, and offering scalable support services to manage up to 200,000 identities could find similar opportunities valuable for diversification and expansion in the public sector domain. Large-scale IT firms, like Ubisecure Limited, which can provide comprehensive support and integration for cloud and on-premise solutions, are typically well-positioned to compete for such contracts.
