UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hackney procured hosting, security application updates and development support for two Hackney Education websites built on Drupal. The Hackney Education website provides statutory and resident-facing information about schools and settings, admissions, pupil benefits, alternative provision, childcare and other services for children, young people and families across the borough. The Hackney Services for Schools website serves schools, settings and practitioners, with ecommerce for placing and managing orders, financial processes and reporting, plus free and password-protected resources. This is an IT services requirement covering website hosting, security and software development support. Delivery is for Hackney Education websites serving Hackney and its schools, settings, practitioners, residents and families.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition as a below-threshold contract. Code Enigma Limited was selected for the single lot. The award date was 14 July 2026, and the contract was signed on 14 July 2026. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2028, with a possible 12-month extension to 31 July 2029. Its value is £108,828 excluding VAT and £130,593.60 including VAT. The contract is active and the award remains active. Evaluation was conducted through a direct award below the applicable threshold rather than an open competition. The contracting authority is the London Borough of Hackney.

This procurement indicates recurring demand from Hackney for specialist Drupal website operations rather than a one-off build. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement would need demonstrable capability in hosting and maintaining Drupal sites, applying security updates, and providing ongoing development support. Relevant experience would include public-facing education or local-government websites containing statutory information, service content and resources for several user groups. Experience supporting authenticated or password-protected areas, practitioner-facing content and ecommerce functions would be particularly relevant, as would the ability to maintain order management, financial processing and reporting features. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that a focused specialist business can be credible for this scale of requirement, provided it can support secure, reliable services across two connected websites.
