UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

City of Doncaster Council procured software services for network management. The requirement is for software designed around security, privacy and reliability, supporting the protection of data, prevention of unauthorised access and system integrity. Its stated security features include role-based access controls, encrypted data transmission, secure authentication, regular security updates and comprehensive audit logging. The service is associated with the council’s operations in Doncaster, South Yorkshire. This is a public-sector technology requirement rather than a hardware supply or construction project, and is relevant to software providers with products or managed services covering network administration, access control, secure data handling and operational monitoring.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition under a below-threshold procedure. Brightly Software Ltd received the award on 13 July 2026 for the DSA – Software requirement. The awarded value is £75,396.60 excluding VAT, or £90,475.92 including VAT. The contract period runs from 22 July 2026 to 22 July 2026, indicating a one-day stated term. The award is active and relates to a single requirement. The procurement was categorised as network management software services. The recorded route was a direct award below the applicable threshold, without a competitive tender, and the selected supplier is Brightly Software Ltd.

This procurement demonstrates that City of Doncaster Council buys specialist software services where security, privacy and reliability are central requirements. A credible future competitor would need a mature network-management software offering supported by role-based permissions, strong authentication, encrypted communications, audit trails and a dependable approach to security updates. Suppliers should be able to explain how their systems protect council data, restrict unauthorised access and support system integrity in operational use. The awarded supplier is a large software business, indicating that the requirement was met by an established provider with the resources to support secure enterprise software. Relevant experience in public-sector or similarly controlled environments would strengthen a competing proposition.
