Summary of the contracting process

YMCA London City & North is seeking managed IT services to develop, manage and support technology across its organisation. The work covers ongoing support and management of existing and future technology solutions, making this relevant to providers able to take responsibility for a broad organisational IT environment rather than a single software product. The service is classified as IT services, including consulting, software development, internet and support. Delivery is in the United Kingdom.

The buyer invited tenders through a competitive flexible procedure with three stages: an initial supplier questionnaire, written evaluations and a cost evaluation. The bid submission deadline was 10 November 2026 at 12:00, and the evaluation and award period was due to end on 5 February 2027. The single lot has an estimated value of £420,000 excluding VAT (£504,000 including VAT). The initial contract period runs from 7 March 2027 to 6 March 2030, with an option to extend for up to two years through annual renewals, to 6 March 2032. Quality carries 60% of the evaluation weighting and cost 40%.

This opportunity suits an IT managed-services provider able to deliver continuing operational support while also developing and managing technology solutions as the organisation’s needs evolve. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate relevant experience and capability across a broad range of technology services, and to resource both existing-system support and future technology requirements. The three-stage assessment means bidders need to handle an initial supplier questionnaire, provide written responses for quality evaluation and submit pricing for a separate cost evaluation. Quality is the larger part of the scoring, so a strong service approach and evidence of delivery capability are commercially important alongside competitive pricing. The multi-year service, with possible annual extensions, is suited to suppliers able to sustain a long-term support relationship.
