Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Office for National Statistics procured an eSourcing and contract management system to replace its existing system. This is a software and information-systems requirement covering the provision of a digital platform for sourcing activity and managing contracts. The work is for the Office for National Statistics, a national agency based in Newport, and delivery is across the United Kingdom. The requirement was treated as a goods procurement, although suppliers would need to provide and support a software system rather than physical products. It was arranged as a single requirement, covering the replacement system as a whole. The selected supplier was BIP Solutions Ltd, based in Glasgow, indicating that the buyer chose an established commercial software provider for this business-critical procurement function.

The procurement has reached the awarded stage. It used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition and was procured through G-Cloud 14. The award was made to BIP Solutions Ltd, with an active contract signed on 1 July 2026. The contract value is £122,000. The procurement was evaluated on price. The requirement was arranged as one lot, although that lot is recorded as cancelled while the award and contract are active. The procurement included an option to extend for a further 12 months. One bid was recorded for the lot. The available outcome shows a single supplier selection and an active contract for the replacement eSourcing and contract management system.

This procurement demonstrates demand from the Office for National Statistics for integrated eSourcing and contract management software, rather than a standalone sourcing tool or isolated consultancy assignment. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need a proven platform that can replace an incumbent system and support the full lifecycle from sourcing through contract management. They would also need to understand public-sector procurement operations and the assurance, implementation and support demands of a national agency. Experience of supplying through G-Cloud 14, or an equivalent compliant public-sector purchasing route, would strengthen credibility. The selected supplier was a large organisation, so competitors should be able to demonstrate sufficient delivery capacity, dependable ongoing support and relevant experience implementing comparable systems for UK public bodies.
