Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council procured a traded services software solution providing secure e-commerce functionality. The system enables customers to purchase and access annual contracts, bespoke services, products, in-person and online training, support and information content. This is a software and information-systems requirement, rather than physical goods or construction work. The council is based in Matlock, Derbyshire, and the service is delivered in the United Kingdom. The solution therefore suits suppliers that develop, configure, host or support customer-facing digital commerce platforms for public-sector traded services, particularly where those platforms must handle varied offerings, customer access and associated information and support content.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to FRONTLINE DATA LIMITED. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition. The contract was signed on 14 September 2026 and runs from 16 September 2026 to 15 September 2029, with two optional 12-month extensions available, allowing a maximum end date of 15 September 2031. Its value is £163,375 excluding VAT, or £196,050 including VAT. There was one completed lot and one active award. The published outcome identifies the requirement as goods, with evaluation conducted through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Derbyshire County Council for a secure, customer-facing platform supporting a broad traded-services offer. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide reliable e-commerce functionality covering recurring annual contracts, one-off or bespoke services, product sales, training bookings and access to information content. Relevant capability would include secure customer journeys, catalogue and contract management, transaction handling, content administration, online-service delivery and ongoing technical support. Suppliers should be able to support both in-person and online training models and integrate service information with purchasing access. Experience delivering dependable software for public bodies and managing varied customer-facing services would strengthen a competing proposition.
