UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the Borough of Kirklees commissioned website hosting services for four public-facing websites: the Local Offer, Schools Out, Families Together and Our Space. The requirement covers the hosting of these sites as a single service, supporting the council’s online information and services for local communities, schools and families. The work is delivered for Kirklees in West Yorkshire. This is a digital infrastructure and website hosting opportunity, rather than a general software development, communications or standalone web design contract. Businesses suited to this requirement are providers able to host and support multiple public-sector websites and maintain reliable online access for users across the borough.

The procurement has been completed and awarded to PPL Innovate. Kirklees used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 10 July 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029, with an option for one further 12-month period, giving a maximum possible end date of 31 August 2030. The awarded value is £70,000 excluding VAT (£84,000 including VAT). There was one completed lot covering the hosting requirement. The award is active and the contract is active. The service was evaluated and awarded as a provider service, under CPV 72410000. No separate award date is recorded.

This award demonstrates that Kirklees buys a managed hosting service for several related websites through a below-threshold direct route. A future competitor would need to show credible capability to host and support multiple sites for a local authority, including dependable service operation across public-facing platforms used by schools, families and residents. Relevant experience would include maintaining website availability, handling routine hosting responsibilities and supporting distinct sites within one managed arrangement. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist provider rather than only by a large national technology firm. Providers with a focused public-sector or community-facing web hosting offer would be well placed to study this buyer’s requirement when it next comes to market.
