Summary of the contracting process

Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council procured Microsoft Power Platform professional services for its council area, covering low-code and no-code development and related IT consultancy. The requirement was to establish a governed, scalable operating model for Microsoft Power Platform, then design, build, test and deploy priority business use cases. The work includes software and information-systems services alongside consulting, development, internet and support services. The buyer is a local authority based in Ashton-under-Lyne. The requirement supports the council’s Customer Experience Programme and was intended to provide a structured approach to using Power Platform across its business, rather than a standalone software purchase.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a limited procedure without a prior published competition, through the G Cloud 14 framework, as a direct award for the Customer Experience Programme. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, but the award is active and was made to ANS Group Limited. The award date was 26 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract value is £170,000. The planned contract was for an initial one-year period. Price was the stated award criterion. One bid was recorded. The contract is active, and the published outcome identifies ANS Group Limited as the selected supplier.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council for a delivery partner able to combine Microsoft Power Platform governance with hands-on low-code and no-code implementation. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to design scalable operating models, translate council priorities into practical business use cases, and manage the full delivery cycle from design through build, testing and deployment. Relevant capability includes Microsoft platform consultancy, software development, systems integration, user support and the controls needed for governed adoption across a local authority. Experience delivering structured customer-experience or service-improvement programmes would strengthen a supplier’s position, as would the capacity to support both strategic operating-model work and multiple implementation projects.
