Summary of the contracting process

Coventry City Council, identified as a regional or local authority, has recently completed a procurement process titled "COV - Economic Growth licences" within the IT services industry. This procurement, conducted as a service under the CPV classification of IT services including consultancy and software development, was intended for a regional application in Coventry, UK (region code UKG33). The contract, valued at £37,557.30, was part of the procurement method identified as "limited", specifically carried out without a prior call for competition via G-Cloud 14 Lot 2, due to its placement outside the directive's typical application scope. The contract was awarded on 22nd March 2026 to Alcium Software Ltd, a large supplier based in Sheffield.

This tender provides significant business growth opportunities, especially for IT service providers capable of delivering consulting, software development, and support services. As the procurement process was a limited procedure specifically related to G-Cloud 14, businesses already registered on the G-Cloud framework are optimally positioned to respond to future similar opportunities. The project aligns with the delivery of growth licences, a niche but vital area in the improving economic landscape, making it especially relevant for large companies already serving public sector IT needs. Businesses in proximity to or with operations in the West Midlands may find enhanced opportunities for collaboration with Coventry City Council on similar projects.
