Summary of the contracting process

Portsmouth City Council procured a five-year NaviLens technology licence covering software and access to the NaviLens platform. The requirement includes continuing software updates, technical support and maintenance associated with the technology throughout the licence term. This is a technology and software-access requirement, categorised under office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies, excluding furniture and software packages. The council is the buying organisation, and delivery is in Portsmouth, United Kingdom. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement rather than separate lots. The selected supplier, NaviLens Tech, S.L., is based in Murcia, Spain and is classified as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The requirement therefore concerns an ongoing technology platform service, rather than a one-off supply of equipment.

The procurement has been completed and the award is active. Portsmouth City Council selected NaviLens Tech, S.L. for the requirement through a below-threshold procedure whose specific method is recorded as unknown. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026 and runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2031. Its gross value is £117,469. The contract is active and the tender status is complete. The award relates to the single requirement and covers the full NaviLens technology licence, software and platform access, together with updates, technical support and maintenance. The available outcome shows one selected supplier and one contract. The arrangement is below the relevant procurement threshold.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Portsmouth City Council for a defined technology platform licence supported over several years, rather than an isolated software purchase. A credible future competitor would need to provide the relevant technology licence and reliable access to its software platform, with the capacity to deliver ongoing updates, technical support and maintenance as part of one continuing service. The awarded supplier is an SME, indicating that delivery is not limited to a large corporate provider. Suppliers with direct ownership or authorised delivery capability for comparable platform technology, an established support and maintenance operation, and the ability to sustain service for a public-sector customer would be best placed to compete when this requirement returns.
