Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process undertaken by Cheshire East Council revolves around the establishment of an Insurance Claims Database, classified under the industry category of machinery for mining, quarrying, and construction equipment (CPV code 43000000). The procurement, which has progressed to the complete stage and was awarded on 29th June 2026, is categorised under the 'goods' procurement type. The awarded contract, valued at £46,104, will primarily deliver services to the region UKD6. This procurement was conducted using a limited method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, relying on the CCS GCloud 14 framework due to the procurement falling outside the normal directive scope.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses, particularly those experienced in developing and managing technical database solutions within the insurance sector. The involvement of a large-scale supplier, Alphatec Software Ltd, indicates that companies with similar capabilities and expertise could also thrive by delivering specialised software solutions tailored to public sector requirements. With a focus on incorporating detailed plans, photographs, and supporting documentation, businesses engaged in data management and analytical services could leverage such opportunities to expand their portfolios and increase their footprint within the public sector's digital transformation initiatives.
