UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Centre for Process Innovation Limited procured an e-tendering portal to support its procurement activity. The service is intended to enable the organisation to run procurement processes in line with its internal policy and UK procurement legislation, using a compliant online tendering environment. The requirement falls within software-related services. CPI is a public undertaking based at the Wilton Centre in Redcar, and the contracted service supports its procurement operations from that organisation. The scope concerns provision of the portal itself rather than a construction, supply or operational delivery project. Businesses relevant to this requirement include providers of online tender management platforms and associated software services for public or regulated-sector procurement teams.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award below the threshold without competition. In-tend Ltd was selected as the supplier for the single requirement. The contract was signed on 30 July 2025 and runs from 1 August 2025 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £35,486 excluding VAT, or £42,583.20 including VAT. The contract is active. Evaluation was not conducted through a competitive tender: the stated route was a below-threshold procurement without competition. The requirement was treated as a services procurement for software-related services. The award covers the e-tendering portal provision, with the portal supporting CPI’s internal procurement processes and compliance with wider UK procurement legislation.

This procurement demonstrates demand from CPI for a specialist e-tendering platform rather than general-purpose software. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would provide a hosted or otherwise usable portal that supports end-to-end procurement activity, including the management of tender processes and related supplier interactions. Credibility would depend on demonstrating that the platform can help a public undertaking apply its internal procurement policy and meet UK procurement legislation in practice. Relevant experience supplying procurement technology to public-sector or regulated organisations would strengthen a competitor’s position, as would evidence of reliable service delivery, clear compliance features and the capacity to support CPI’s procurement team throughout the contract lifecycle.
