Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Lincolnshire Council procured Salesforce Core Licensing through the PS Framework. The requirement is for software licensing and associated information-system products, centred on Salesforce’s core platform rather than a broader software implementation or general IT service. Delivery is associated with North Lincolnshire, with the council based in Scunthorpe. The buying organisation is North Lincolnshire Council, a local authority. This opportunity is therefore relevant to software publishers, authorised Salesforce licensing partners, framework suppliers and businesses able to provide Salesforce core licences to a public-sector customer. It is less relevant to firms focused solely on bespoke software development, unrelated software packages, hardware, or standalone consultancy without the ability to supply the required Salesforce licensing.

The procurement has been awarded through a limited call-off from the PS Framework, using an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. Price was the stated evaluation criterion. The process is recorded as complete, with an active award to Phoenix Software Limited. The contract was signed on 29 July 2026 for £829,444.32 including the stated currency of GBP. One bid was recorded. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, while the related award and contract are active; businesses should therefore treat the outcome as an awarded contract rather than an opportunity to submit a bid.

This outcome shows North Lincolnshire Council’s demand for a substantial Salesforce core-licensing requirement bought through an established public-sector framework and evaluated on price. A competitor considering this buyer’s future requirement would need access to the relevant framework route, or a credible route into any successor arrangement, together with the commercial capacity to supply Salesforce licences at sizeable local-authority scale. The selected supplier was Phoenix Software Limited, identified as an SME, indicating that the requirement was not limited to a large corporate provider. Strong positioning would therefore depend on authorised or otherwise compliant Salesforce licensing capability, framework and public-sector procurement experience, competitive pricing, and the ability to manage a council-wide software licensing supply arrangement.
