UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

London Borough of Barking and Dagenham is procuring an integrated procurement, tendering and contract management platform: a fully developed commercial off-the-shelf e-sourcing portal with configurable features and integrations. The service will support staff responsible for procurement and sourcing, and will be available to the council’s ancillary organisations, including arm’s-length bodies, wholly or partly owned subsidiaries and partner organisations. The platform is procurement software and associated software development or integration services. It must support procurement activity, contract management, commercial data standards and transparency requirements across the council’s organisations. The buying organisation is the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, based in Barking, with use extending across its participating public-sector and partner organisations.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure, with electronic submission allowed in English. Enquiries close at noon on 24 August 2026 and tenders must be submitted by noon on 2 September 2026. The council expects to decide the award by 1 October 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 10 March 2027 to 28 February 2031, with a possible renewal at the council’s discretion subject to satisfactory performance, and a maximum extent to 28 February 2032. The estimated value is £400,000 excluding VAT, or £480,000 including VAT. There is one lot. Evaluation is based on price 40%, quality 40%, demonstration 10% and social value 10%. Economic and technical selection requirements apply.

This opportunity suits suppliers of established procurement and e-sourcing platforms, particularly those able to provide a configurable commercial off-the-shelf product rather than build a bespoke system from scratch. Strong candidates will have experience integrating procurement, tendering and contract management software with existing council or organisational systems, and supporting users across multiple related bodies. The solution must accommodate changes in procurement law and organisational arrangements, including the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, Procurement Act 2023, Provider Selection Regime and the council’s contract rules. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate compliance with Cabinet Office commercial data standards and transparency obligations, while providing a credible product demonstration and delivering measurable social value. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.
