Summary of the contracting process

Bracknell Forest Borough Council has concluded a procurement process for the provision of Alarm Monitoring Software as a Service. The contract is awarded to E.Novation UK Ltd for an initial period of 12 months, commencing on 24 May 2026 and ending on 23 May 2027. This procurement falls under the services category and takes place in the United Kingdom, specifically within the Bracknell region (UKJ11). The procurement method was a direct award under a below-threshold, without competition framework, aimed at continuing service provision seamlessly and allowing time for a complete re-procurement exercise. Important dates include a contract award notice published on 13 May 2026 and a scheduled contract signature by 24 May 2026. Although a direct award, a transparency notice was issued to acknowledge a previous above-threshold contract with the same supplier.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software-related services, particularly those capable of delivering solutions for emergency alarm call handling. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), like E.Novation UK Ltd, can benefit significantly by providing specialised software services tailored to public authority needs. Organisations in the technology solutions industry, focusing on government and public safety sectors, would find this contract advantageous for growth, given its strategic importance and the potential for continuity into future larger scale procurements following the completion of the current service cycle.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Alarm Monitoring Software as a Service

Notice Description

The Council intends to make a below threshold direct award to Enovation Group for a 12 month period for the provision of an Alarm Recovering Centre Software as a Service. This is a call handling platform for emergency alarms and out of hours functions. This direct award is made to allow for a full re-procurement exercise to be completed. Although the value of this direct award is below threshold, a transparency notice has also been published to take into account the previous above threshold contract in place for this requirement with the same provider. The Transparency Notice is therefore followed by this Contract Award Notice to commence a voluntary 8 working day standstill period.
