Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead has concluded a procurement process titled "WebCapture," classified under the IT services category, specifically concerning consulting, software development, Internet, and support. This process, corresponding to the ID "058816-2026," concluded with an award on 29th May 2026, and the contract has been signed subsequently. The procurement, which falls under the services category, was executed through a limited method, adhering to the rules of the G-Cloud 14 framework. The contract was specifically intended for region UKJ1 and addressed the need to automate the processing of Council Tax and Business Rates requests. The total contract value is £208,850, and it was directly awarded to Govtech Solutions Limited following strict compliance with the procurement framework's guidelines.

This tender offers significant opportunities for IT service providers capable of delivering niche solutions within the public sector, particularly those with expertise in automating administrative processes. Businesses specialising in software development, consulting, or support services would be particularly well-suited to compete in similar contracts, given the focus on enhancing efficiency and security in data handling processes. The absence of a need for prior publication simplifies the competition, making it particularly advantageous for companies already listed under relevant framework agreements, ensuring a smoother path to direct awards. This process exemplifies how alignment with framework agreements like G-Cloud can provide strategic growth avenues for businesses aiming to strengthen their foothold in governmental IT service provisioning.

Notice Title

WebCapture

Notice Description

Lot Information

Lot 1

This contract is for an automated online form system called webCAPTURE.

Reducing manual input, the system securely takes information from public web forms and updates them directly into the Council's main system.

Options: One year optional extension

Procurement Information

The contract was awarded lawfully as a direct award under the CCS G-Cloud 14 framework agreement (Agreement ID: RM1557.14). A separate call for competition is not required because the overarching framework was already advertised and competed nationally on the Find a Tender service. Therefore, individual call-off contracts placed through the framework's online catalogue are legally exempt from being advertised a second time. The framework rules mandate a strict, un-negotiable process where the buyer must search the online catalogue using generic keywords and apply objective filters to find a suitable service. Deviating from this process by running a separate tender or negotiation is strictly prohibited and would breach the framework terms. Following this required filtering process, Govtech Solutions Limited was identified as the only supplier on the shortlist whose fixed catalogue entry met all of the Council's specific technical and service requirements. Because they were the sole suitable provider capable of meeting the need, a direct award to them is the legally compliant outcome.
