Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Torbay Council commissioned digital consultancy and related IT services to develop business cases for using the latest digital technologies to improve the way its services are delivered. The requirement covers exploration of opportunities that could substantially increase the impact of digital change across the council’s services, rather than the supply of a defined software product or a construction project. It sits within IT services, including consulting, software development, internet and support. The council is based at Town Hall in Torquay, and the work concerns its public services. This is a service opportunity for organisations able to investigate digital transformation options, shape practical business cases and explain how technology could change service delivery for a local authority.

The procurement is complete and an award was made to Triple Value Impact Ltd. The contract value is £331,948 excluding any unspecified tax treatment, in GBP, and the contract was signed on 29 July 2026. The requirement was handled as a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, through a direct call-off from the G Cloud 14 Framework. One bid was recorded, submitted electronically by an SME, and price was the stated award criterion. The procurement had one lot, with an option for the buyer to extend the call-off for one period of up to 12 months by giving one month’s written notice before expiry. The award is active, although the lot itself is recorded as cancelled.

This award indicates that Torbay Council buys substantial, focused digital transformation advice through the G Cloud framework, using a direct call-off route rather than an openly advertised competition. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to turn emerging digital technologies into clear, evidence-based business cases for public services, linking proposed change to service impact and practical delivery. Relevant strengths would include local-government understanding, service redesign, technology assessment, benefits analysis, financial and commercial modelling, and the ability to present recommendations that support investment decisions. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement can suit a specialist consultancy as well as a large technology business. Suppliers should also be able to work within framework call-off processes and provide concise, decision-ready outputs.
