UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Northamptonshire Council procured Canva Enterprise licences for use across the organisation. The licences support staff in creating print and digital communications materials. This is a software licensing requirement, with associated services classified as advertising and marketing services. The goods and services are for the council’s organisational use in North Northamptonshire, England.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to CANVA UK OPERATIONS LIMITED. North Northamptonshire Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 28 September 2026 and runs from 28 October 2026 to 27 October 2027. Its maximum gross value is £35,520 for the 12-month term; licences are charged through a true-up process during the term. The procurement was organised as a single lot. No award evaluation criteria are recorded.

For suppliers competing for a future requirement from this buyer, the relevant offer is enterprise software licensing that supports organisation-wide production of print and digital communications. The successful supplier was a large software provider, and the purchase combined licence provision with related advertising and marketing services. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate that its enterprise licensing can serve users across a council, support communications content creation in both print and digital formats, and accommodate usage-based adjustment through a true-up charging arrangement. This is a focused software requirement rather than a broad marketing campaign or standalone design commission; suppliers whose offer is limited to either communications services or isolated individual licences may be less well matched.
