Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Cheshire East Council focuses on the award of the "Modern Data Platform Phase 1 Foundational Delivery" contract, which falls under the category of software packages and information systems. The procurement was conducted through a limited method without prior publication of a call for competition, leveraging the CCS G-Cloud 14 framework. The tender process is now complete, and the contract was signed on 29th May 2026, with a total value of £230,000. The location for delivery is in the North West region of England (UKD6). The project had an associated lot that was marked as cancelled, while the award under this procurement involved Simpson Associates Information Services Limited as the supplier. Key contacts at Cheshire East Council, such as Helen Jones, can be reached for more information.

This contract provides a significant opportunity for large-scale businesses, particularly those specialising in software systems and digital programme delivery, to engage with and expand within the public sector. Businesses that are already part of public procurement frameworks like CCS G-Cloud are well-positioned to benefit. The focus on foundational delivery for a modern data platform can also set the stage for future engagements, offering potential ongoing collaboration opportunities with regional authorities like Cheshire East Council. As digital transformation and data systems become increasingly pivotal, companies with robust capabilities in these areas can leverage such contracts to drive growth and establish a strong presence in governmental contracting markets.
