UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Braintree District Council procured Gamma licences as an information technology service. The requirement covers the supply and management of licences for council use, delivered across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The council is the buying organisation and the service relates to a single completed requirement. This is relevant to suppliers providing business software licensing, IT service licensing or associated technology services, particularly those able to support a public-sector customer across multiple English regions. The awarded supplier was Gamma Telecom Ltd, based in Newbury, indicating that the requirement was met by an established technology and telecommunications provider.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Gamma Telecom Ltd was selected for the single lot. The award was made on 21 July 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract is valued at £44,160 excluding VAT, or £52,992 including VAT. It runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with an option for a one-year extension to 30 September 2030. The award is active and the contract is active. The process used a limited procedure rather than an open competition; the available record describes the procurement as a below-threshold limited competition. The stated service classification is information technology services.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Braintree District Council for managed technology licensing delivered across England under a multi-year public-sector contract. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this kind would have reliable access to the relevant software or technology licences, experience delivering IT services to councils, and the operational capacity to support users and contract administration across several regions. A credible competitor would also need strong licensing governance, renewal and compliance management, clear customer support arrangements, and the financial and organisational stability to maintain service throughout a lengthy contract and any extension. Established technology, software, IT services and telecommunications providers may be well placed, provided they can demonstrate dependable delivery, public-sector understanding and the ability to manage a council-wide licensing requirement.
