Summary of the contracting process

South Downs National Park Authority procured an upgrade to its existing asset management software, together with integration of new facilities helpdesk software. The requirement is for software-related services supporting the authority’s asset management and facilities helpdesk operations. The buyer is the South Downs National Park Authority, based in Midhurst. The published scope does not identify specific delivery sites, so the work is best understood as a systems upgrade and integration for the authority rather than a place-based works contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to ARCSPEED DIGITAL SOLUTIONS LTD. The authority used a direct award without competition, under a below-threshold route. The contract was signed on 1 October 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2030, covering four years. Its value is £74,339.60 excluding VAT and £89,207.52 including VAT. The process was structured as a single lot, and the award is active. No evaluation criteria are recorded in the published contracting information.

This award indicates demand from the South Downs National Park Authority for maintaining and upgrading its asset-management platform while connecting it with facilities helpdesk software. Suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement should be able to demonstrate practical expertise in asset-management systems, software upgrades and integration with helpdesk tools, as well as the capacity to support a multi-year service arrangement. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized business, showing that this scope was deliverable by an SME. The direct, non-competitive route means this award does not provide evidence of a competed evaluation or a particular technical or quality threshold; credibility for future work will rest on relevant systems experience and the ability to deliver an integrated service for this buyer.
