UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire County Council is seeking information technology services covering consulting, software development, internet-related services and support. The procurement is categorised as a services requirement and is intended for work commissioned by the council. The named buying organisation is Gloucestershire County Council, based at Shire Hall in Gloucester. The requirement is arranged as a single service package. Its stated title is “Gloucestershire County Council Test”, and the description identifies it as a test requirement. Businesses should therefore compare the stated IT service scope with their own consulting, software, internet and support capabilities before deciding whether to pursue it.

The process has reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Electronic submission is allowed, using the council’s specified online procurement route. Questions could be submitted until 21 August 2026 at 10:00 BST, and offers were due by 26 August 2026 at 10:00 BST. The contract period is from 1 September 2026 to 2 September 2026. The published gross value is £10, and the single lot has the same gross value. The tender is below the applicable threshold and is treated under the light-touch regime. The lot’s stated award basis is “This is a test - please ignore”, so suppliers should scrutinise the procurement information before committing bid resources.

This opportunity is aimed at suppliers able to provide one or more of the following: IT consulting, software development, internet services or IT support. It may suit a technology consultancy, software developer, internet-services provider or managed-support business whose service offering covers the council’s stated categories. The single-package structure means a bidder should be able to address the overall requirement, or clearly explain the part of the service it can deliver. The procurement is a small, short-duration test requirement rather than an extended delivery programme. Businesses with relevant public-sector bidding experience may find the straightforward open-competition route familiar, but the stated award basis should be checked carefully before deciding to compete.
