Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Yorkshire Council procured an e-newsletter solution, classified as communication software. The requirement supports the effective production and publication of the council’s marketing campaigns. The work is for the council’s communications and marketing activity, with delivery for North Yorkshire Council in the United Kingdom. This is a software-based requirement rather than a construction, facilities or general consultancy contract. Suppliers relevant to this opportunity would be providers of email marketing, e-newsletter, digital communications or campaign management platforms, particularly those able to support content production, campaign publication and related operational use by a local authority.

The procurement has been awarded through a direct award to dotdigital EMEA Ltd under the G-Cloud 14 framework, using a limited procedure without a prior call for competition. The award date was 1 July 2026 and the contract is for 12 months. The awarded contract value is £12,733. The stated purpose of the 12-month arrangement is to enable a competitive exercise before the contract expires. The requirement was evaluated on price. One bid was recorded. The procurement was described as complete, and the award is active. The associated lot is recorded as cancelled, while the award and contract relate to the e-newsletter requirement.

This award demonstrates a local authority requirement for a practical e-newsletter platform supporting marketing campaign production and publication. Competitors would need a reliable email marketing or digital communications solution that can be used by council marketing teams, with features suited to creating, managing and distributing campaigns. Credibility would come from demonstrable experience delivering comparable public-sector or regulated-organisation communications, dependable service operation, and the ability to support users throughout the contract. Suppliers should also understand public-sector framework routes and direct-award environments, while being prepared to compete on price when the council undertakes its next competitive exercise for this requirement.
