Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process described involves the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority as the buying organisation, seeking support for Oracle functions, specifically software support services within the public order and safety sector. The location of the project is Sheffield, United Kingdom. The procurement process has reached the award stage with the contract being signed on 15th June 2026. The procedure used was a limited procurement method, allowing a direct award without a prior call for competition, under the legal basis of the G-Cloud 14 Framework. The contract is valued at £292,372 and has been awarded to Redfaire Limited, with the option of a 12-month extension after the initial 24-month term.

This tender presents a significant business growth opportunity for firms specialising in IT services and software support, particularly those with expertise in Oracle platforms. Businesses capable of providing robust support services, including support desks, training, and development, could benefit from similar future tenders. Companies like small and medium enterprises, which can swiftly adapt and offer specialised knowledge, are well-suited to compete in such procurement processes, particularly given the route chosen that favours direct awards under existing frameworks.
