UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council is procuring a Digi Hub Founders Programme supported by PEACEPLUS. This is a service contract for a provider to design and deliver a programme combining digital and information technology support with specialist training and development consultancy. The requirement covers internet and intranet development, software and wider IT services, computer-user familiarisation, specialist training and consultancy associated with developing a Digi Hub founders offer. The contracting authority is the council, based in Craigavon, serving the Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough area. The opportunity is therefore relevant to organisations able to deliver a structured digital enterprise or founder-support programme for a public-sector client, rather than suppliers offering only standalone software, hardware or general training.

The process reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 13 August 2026 at 23:59, and tenders by 20 August 2026 at 23:59. Electronic submission was allowed through etendersNI. The procurement has one lot. The contract is planned to run from 7 September 2026 to 7 September 2028. Its estimated value is £77,594 excluding VAT, or £93,113 including VAT. The published award basis is 80/20, indicating an evaluation split between quality and price, although the detailed weighting of those elements is set out in the procurement documents. The opportunity is for services and is below the applicable threshold.

This opportunity suits an experienced and qualified service provider with the breadth to combine digital programme delivery, IT and internet development, founder or user training, and development consultancy. Strong candidates are likely to be able to turn digital expertise into a practical, supported programme rather than provide technical services in isolation. Relevant capability may include designing learning or support activity, explaining digital tools to users, developing online or intranet solutions, and advising on programme development. The single-lot structure means the buyer is seeking one provider or delivery team able to cover the full requirement. It may suit an established digital consultancy, specialist training organisation, or partnership combining these capabilities.
