UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Enfield procured access to Beacon Partnership LLP’s Optimix Development Appraisal Toolkit. The service combines software licences with implementation support, training and annual support services, enabling the council to use a development appraisal tool. The procurement is for software-related services, specifically financial systems software development services (CPV 72212442). Delivery is in Enfield, London. The contracted package covers both access to the toolkit and support around its implementation and ongoing use, rather than software alone.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Enfield made a direct award below the relevant threshold without competition. Beacon Partnership LLP was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026 and runs from 28 August 2026 to 28 August 2028. Its gross value is £48,456. The requirement was handled as one lot. The published procurement details identify no separate evaluation criteria; the supplier was appointed through the direct-award route rather than a competitive assessment.

This award indicates demand from Enfield for a development appraisal toolkit delivered as a supported software service: suppliers seeking comparable future work would need to provide suitable appraisal software licences alongside practical implementation assistance, user training and continuing annual support. Credibility would depend on being able to supply the software and sustain its use through onboarding and ongoing service, not simply offering a licence. The award was made directly without competition, so it does not demonstrate a competitive scoring model or published technical thresholds. The selected provider was Beacon Partnership LLP, a large supplier; businesses considering this buyer’s requirement should be prepared to support a council-scale customer across the full software lifecycle.
