UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire County Council has completed the award of a contract for "LFR Mobile Data Terminal software support," focusing on the provision of licencing, support, and maintenance of existing MDT software. This falls within the "Helpdesk and support services" category. The contract, valued at £93,618.11 gross, was awarded via a direct procurement method due to it being below the threshold for competitive tendering, and covers the period from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027. Situated in Lincoln, United Kingdom, this procurement process ensures the continued operational support of critical infrastructure during the planning and mobilisation phase for a long-term solution. The award was made to TELENT TECHNOLOGY SERVICES LIMITED, a large-scale enterprise based in Stevenage, without competition, as reflected in the procurement status as complete.

This procurement presents potential opportunities for businesses specialising in licencing, support, and maintenance of software solutions, particularly those familiar with critical infrastructure support services. Large scale businesses that can offer robust helpdesk and remote support services would be well-suited to compete in similar procurement processes in the future. By fulfilling the contractual requirements for Lincolnshire County Council, TELENT TECHNOLOGY SERVICES LIMITED secures a pivotal role in supporting regional public authority operations, paving the way for further collaboration and expansion into other areas needing essential software support services.

Notice Information

Notice Title

LFR Mobile Data Terminal software support

Notice Description

Support for Mobile Data Terminal (MDT) software, including provision of licences to use the incumbent Lampada MDT software. This Direct Award is made in order to ensure short term operational continuity of support of existing Critical Infrastructure during the procurement and mobilisation period of a long term contract to deliver a new MDT solution. Given the type and age of solution there are limited support options available, hence the Council requires the Incumbent Arrangement to be extended on a short-term basis pending procurement and implementation of a new solution. The services are limited to licencing, support and maintenance only, no additional deliverables or system changes are being procured, and the service management plans and existing operational arrangements remain unchanged. As the estimated contract value exceeds the PS30,000 threshold for notifiable below-threshold contracts, a Contract Details Notice was required under section 87 of the Procurement Act 2023 and the Procurement Regulations 2024. The contract is below the public contract thresholds, and therefore no Transparency Notice or standstill period applies. Prices showing are inclusive of VAT.
