Summary of the contracting process

Middlesbrough Council, operating as a sub-central government public authority, has awarded a contract under the title "PatchMyPC" via the KCS Framework for Software Products and Associated Services Y23065. The procurement falls within the IT services category, specifically covering consulting, software development, Internet, and support services, and is facilitated via a direct procurement method below the competition threshold. The contracting process, completed on 29th June 2026, pertains to the 'award' stage, with Boxxe Ltd being recognised as the supplier. The contract commenced on 8th June 2026 and is set for a duration of one year with potential extensions, concluding tentatively by 7th June 2027 in Middlesbrough.
