Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire County Council procured software-as-a-service provision under the category of software-related services (CPV 72260000). The requirement covers access to IDOX software licences and associated software-as-a-service delivery. The buyer is Gloucestershire County Council, based at Shire Hall, Westgate Street, Gloucester. Delivery is identified as taking place in the United Kingdom. This is a services opportunity rather than a goods supply or construction project, and is relevant to software vendors, licensing providers and service partners able to support a public-sector customer with hosted or subscription-based software provision. The named supplier, Idox Software Ltd, is a large software company, indicating that the requirement was fulfilled by an established provider with the capability to supply the specified software service.

The procurement has reached completion, with an active award to Idox Software Ltd for the single lot. The associated contract is active, valued at £71,742.87, and was signed on 1 May 2026. The lot records an estimated value of £70,000 and a contract duration of 1,080 days, with no renewal or additional-purchase options. The award basis was price only. The procedure was a restricted procedure using the selective procurement method, with written submissions in English and a document-access fee. The submission deadline was 20 August 2026. One bid was recorded. The lot itself is marked cancelled, despite the active award and contract records, so the published outcome contains this status inconsistency.

For software suppliers, this procurement demonstrates Gloucestershire County Council’s demand for IDOX software licences delivered as software as a service, procured through a restricted procedure and assessed on price. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide the relevant software licensing model, hosted or subscription-based service delivery, and reliable support for a public-sector customer. Suppliers should also be able to present a competitively priced offer and operate through a formal written tender process in English. The selected provider was a large established software company, suggesting that demonstrable organisational capacity and the ability to sustain service delivery over a multi-year arrangement would strengthen a future offer. The requirement is specific to IDOX software rather than general technology services.
