UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Swindon Borough Council procured a cloud-based enterprise software service: iShare in the Cloud for Enterprise. The requirement covers supply of the service for the council’s operational needs, with associated information technology support, software and internet services. It is a services procurement rather than a purchase of physical goods or construction work. Delivery is associated with Swindon and the surrounding council area. The selected supplier is Astun Technology Limited, a Banbury-based small and medium-sized enterprise specialising in technology services. The requirement is relevant to businesses that provide hosted enterprise software, cloud platforms, software implementation or support services for public sector organisations. It may also suit technology businesses able to deliver ongoing access to and support for a specialist information-sharing or digital mapping environment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Swindon Borough Council selected Astun Technology Limited for the single lot. The contract was signed on 7 July 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2028, for a two-year service period. Its value is £46,550 excluding VAT and £55,860 including VAT. The contract is below the applicable threshold. The procurement was conducted through a below-threshold route, with the precise method recorded as unknown. The award is active and the contract is active. The published requirement was to supply iShare in the Cloud for Enterprise for two years. The award relates to IT services, including consulting, software development, internet and support services. No separate award values or additional suppliers are reported.

This award shows a defined public-sector requirement for a hosted enterprise information-sharing service supported over a multi-year period. Competitors considering similar work for Swindon Borough Council would need credible capability in cloud software delivery, enterprise platform operation and ongoing technical support. Experience supplying or supporting public-sector customers would help demonstrate an understanding of council requirements, service continuity and operational assurance. Relevant suppliers are likely to be established technology businesses able to provide software access and support as a managed service, rather than one-off development alone. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist as well as a large systems integrator. Businesses should be able to explain their support model, implementation capability and experience with comparable information-sharing or mapping-related technology.
