Summary of the contracting process

The Cheshire Fire Authority has completed the procurement process for "Gazetteer Software Annual Subscriptions," targeting the software package and information systems industry category. This procurement, classified under goods, involved a direct award under the CCS Framework Agreement for Vertical Application Solutions RM6259 and was done without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract, valued at £55,000, was signed on 18th March 2026. The procurement was conducted using a limited method due to the award falling outside the scope of directive application. The awarded supplier for this contract is Idox Software Ltd, based in Woking, UK, with the delivery planned for the Cheshire region (UKD6).

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in software packages and information systems, particularly those experienced in delivering long-term subscription services.
