Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Berkshire Council has completed the procurement process for the delivery of a corporate digital platform, focusing on IT services such as consulting, software development, Internet, and support. The procurement, classified under CPV code 72000000, was awarded to GOSS Interactive Ltd and valued at £412,298.15. This project encompasses a production environment for case management solutions and has been authorised under framework RM6285 using a direct award procedure without a prior call for competition. The procurement process concluded with the contract being signed on 3rd February 2026, with service delivery expected across various UK regions, including UKC to UKK.

This tender represents significant potential for businesses specialising in IT services and software development. Given the direct award nature under a framework agreement, companies not involved in the bidding process missed an opportunity to compete via traditional methods; however, those within the framework had the advantage. The three-year initial term with an optional one-year extension offers sustained work opportunities, allowing businesses to solidify their reputation and bolster long-term growth. Large enterprises capable of offering consultative solutions, software development, and support within digital platforms would find this contract particularly beneficial. Businesses looking to enhance their expertise in providing government digital services can leverage this contract to boost their portfolio.
