Summary of the contracting process

Coventry City Council has completed the procurement process for the "COV - Family Information Directory Service," falling under the "IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support" industry category. The procurement was conducted using a limited procurement method through the "G-Cloud 14" framework, with the contract being awarded on 31 March 2026. This process utilised an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, focusing on services required in the Coventry region, specifically designated as UKG33. The procurement stage reached its final stage with the status marked as complete, and with no open options for additional contracts or services.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those with expertise in family directory services and support functions. The awarded contract worth £21,000 was secured by Idox Software Ltd, a large-scale company, suggesting a healthy competitive environment for established service providers seeking similar opportunities under digital government frameworks like G-Cloud. Businesses looking to expand their portfolio within public sector projects can benefit from such procurements by aligning their services with regional or local authority needs like those of the Coventry City Council.
