Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Brent bought a renewal of its Sitecore Experience Platform subscription, covering Sitecore software licensing and related software services. The platform licence is the core requirement; the service classification also includes information technology services. The contract is for the council’s use of its Sitecore platform, with the buying organisation based in Brent, Wembley. This is a focused software renewal rather than a general IT services requirement, so it is most relevant to suppliers able to provide or support Sitecore platform subscriptions.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Sitecore UK Ltd. The contract was signed on 18 September 2026 and runs from 24 September 2026 to 22 September 2028. Its value is £160,925 excluding VAT (£193,110 including VAT). The procurement was below the relevant threshold; the stated procurement method detail is “below threshold – unknown”. The tender records one lot, covering the platform licence renewal. No evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements are recorded in the published process information.

For suppliers assessing future demand from Brent, this award shows the council renews a Sitecore Experience Platform subscription as a standalone requirement, rather than buying a broad technology transformation. A credible competitor would need to offer the relevant Sitecore licence and demonstrate the ability to maintain continuity of subscription and associated software services for a public-sector customer. The selected supplier was Sitecore UK Ltd., a large company, indicating that the requirement was fulfilled directly by the platform provider. Firms with Sitecore licensing and account-management capability, or a route to supply authorised subscriptions, are best aligned with this specific requirement; unrelated software or general IT support alone would be a weaker fit.
