UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Essex Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Fire and Rescue Authority procured the Delta eSourcing platform for Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. This is a software and information systems requirement: provision of an electronic sourcing platform to support the service’s procurement activity. The recorded delivery location is Essex, United Kingdom. The requirement is a single, undivided package rather than a set of separately described work areas.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to BIP Solutions Ltd. The authority used a below-threshold direct award without competition. The contract was signed on 2 October 2026 and runs from 15 November 2026 to 14 November 2031. Its value is £49,075 excluding VAT (£58,890 including VAT). The award covers one lot. No evaluation criteria are recorded for this direct award.

This award shows demand at Essex County Fire and Rescue Service for a dedicated eSourcing platform, rather than general software supply. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need to provide a platform suitable for the service’s procurement activity and demonstrate that it can support the authority’s operational requirements over a multi-year contract. BIP Solutions Ltd, a small and medium-sized enterprise, was selected through a direct award without competition; the published outcome does not establish comparative scoring or technical thresholds. Suppliers with a relevant sourcing-platform product and experience serving public-sector procurement teams are the closest fit for this buyer’s requirement.
