Summary of the contracting process

The North Yorkshire Council has completed the procurement process for a "Data Architecture" project under the services category. This procurement, which was conducted without a competitive process under below-threshold direct procurement, has reached the contract award stage. Located in Northallerton, the buying organisation awarded the contract to Zuhlke Engineering Ltd. The contract commenced on 30th January 2026 and is set to conclude on 29th January 2027, with a total value of £180,000. The project focuses on database services, and the delivery location is the United Kingdom (region UKE). The significant phase of awarding the contract occurred on 29th January 2026.

The "Data Architecture" project creates opportunities for businesses involved in database services, especially those capable of offering comprehensive data solutions without a need for competition, thus favouring well-positioned and specialised firms. Large companies, like Zuhlke Engineering Ltd., in this industry can leverage such contracts to enhance their portfolio within the public sector, primarily within sub-central government levels. This contract offers continuity and financial growth over a year-long period, making it appealing for established firms looking to expand their reach and services in the regional UK market.
