Summary of the contracting process

North Lincolnshire Council has completed a procurement process for a DevOps Platform to be acquired via the Public Sector (PS) Framework. The contract, classified under software supply services, falls within the services procurement category and employs a limited procurement method. This means the award procedure was conducted without a prior call for competition, justified by it being outside the directive's scope. The process, carried out in the region of UKE13 in Scunthorpe, culminated with the contract being signed on 28th May 2026. The award, valued at £39,370.93, was granted to Phoenix Software Limited, and the procurement status is marked as complete.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for businesses specialising in software solutions and services. Companies involved in developing or supplying DevOps platforms would be well-suited to compete in similar future procurement processes. As the opportunity utilized a call off from an existing framework, businesses already on such frameworks can optimise their exposure and response times for future tenders with similar procurement criteria. Small and medium enterprises, like Phoenix Software Limited, can benefit from such contracts by increasing their market presence and leveraging their SME status in government procurement processes.
