UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Bexley procured annual Bridgestation management support and enhancements. The requirement covers software packages and information systems, including ongoing management support and improvements to the Bridgestation service. Delivery spans England, covering activity across the English regions. The buying organisation is the London Borough of Bexley, based at its Civic Offices in Bexleyheath. This is a technology support and software enhancement requirement rather than a general IT supply contract, so it is most relevant to providers with experience managing and improving Bridgestation or comparable software and information systems for public-sector customers. The procurement was structured as a single requirement, covering the annual support and enhancement package as one overall service.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The London Borough of Bexley used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition. FSW IT SOLUTIONS LIMITED, an SME based in London, was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 5 August 2026 and is active from 5 August 2026 to 20 August 2027. Its value is £50,000 including tax, with the same stated amount before tax. The award covers the complete Bridgestation management support and enhancement requirement and the associated software and information systems. The award is below threshold. The available record identifies the procurement as an annual package and shows one completed requirement, awarded to one supplier.

This award provides a clear indication that the London Borough of Bexley buys specialist support for Bridgestation, including service management and enhancements, rather than only off-the-shelf software. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate practical capability in administering the relevant software and information systems, maintaining an ongoing support service and delivering controlled improvements. Experience of supporting a public authority across England would be relevant, as would the capacity to provide continuity throughout an annual service arrangement. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large systems integrator. Firms with demonstrable Bridgestation expertise, responsive support capability and a track record of software enhancement would be best placed to compete when this buyer next requires the service.
