Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by Kent County Council has been successfully completed under a direct award via the GCloud 14 framework. The process involved the engagement of a Programme Director for Oracle Cloud Services within the IT services industry category. The procurement, coded under CPV 72000000, primarily covered the delivery of consultancy services in the UKJ region, with the contract valued at GBP 103,000. This award was formalised on 26th June 2026, aligning with the completion date of the procurement process described in the document. The procurement method utilised was limited, meaning there was no prior publication of a competitive call, justified by its classification as outside the directive's scope.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in IT services, particularly those offering consultancy and cloud solutions. Given the nature of the award under the GCloud framework with a direct award process, businesses that are part of these frameworks can benefit from streamlined procurement without the full competitive tender. Companies similar in scale to Civiteq Trading Ltd, which successfully secured the contract, are well-suited to pursue such opportunities. The contract facilitates business growth through substantial engagements in managing and directing cloud-based projects for government entities, ensuring a steady income stream and enhanced reputation in the public sector market.
