UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council procured Info4localgov, a subscription or service providing a single portal for aggregated information from approximately 370 publishers, including the British Standards Institution. The service helps the council identify the correct standard or legislation for its activities, reducing compliance risk and supporting legal and quality obligations. This is a data and information technology service, covering data access, software-related support and associated internet or technical services. The buyer is Sheffield City Council, and delivery is for the council in the United Kingdom. It will suit providers of standards, legislation and regulatory information portals, particularly those able to consolidate content from a large publisher network into a managed service for public-sector users.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Allum UK Holding Limited. Sheffield City Council used a direct award below the relevant threshold without competition. The award is active and the tender is complete. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026, runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027, and is valued at £45,365.24 excluding VAT, or £54,438.29 including VAT. There was one lot. The award covered data services and IT services including consulting, software development, internet and support. The stated requirement was evaluated through the council’s direct, non-competitive procurement route rather than a comparative tender exercise.

This award demonstrates demand from Sheffield City Council for a managed information portal that brings together standards and legislation from a substantial publisher base. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need reliable access to authoritative regulatory and technical content, established publisher relationships and the ability to aggregate and maintain that content in one service. Credible delivery would also require a secure, dependable portal, strong data management, user support and the technical capability to keep information current and searchable. Experience serving public-sector customers would help, particularly where the service must reduce compliance risk and help users apply the correct standards or legal requirements. The requirement is suited to established information, data and software providers rather than general IT contractors.
