Summary of the contracting process

North Tyneside Borough Council bought continued access to its Alteryx data analytics solution, including Alteryx software licences and associated support. The service supports the Council’s existing analytics environment, business processes and business-critical and statutory reporting. Delivery is for the Council in North Tyneside, England. Billigence Europe Ltd was the incumbent reseller and support provider, with established knowledge of the existing environment. The requirement was transitional: maintaining the current solution while the Council completes migration to a replacement. This is a software licensing and support service, within the broader field of software programming and consultancy services.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Billigence Europe Ltd. North Tyneside Borough Council used a direct award without competition, below the applicable threshold. The contract was signed on 15 October 2026 and runs from 30 November 2026 to 29 November 2027, a 12-month term. Its value is £160,000 excluding VAT and £192,000 including VAT. The rationale was continuity during migration: appointing another supplier for this transitional period was considered likely to create technical and operational difficulties through knowledge transfer, onboarding and establishing support, risking business-critical and statutory reporting. The process had one lot, and the award covers the Alteryx licences and associated support.

For suppliers competing for a similar requirement in North Tyneside, the award shows demand for continuity of Alteryx licences and support while the Council transitions to another analytics solution. A credible provider would need demonstrable expertise in Alteryx licensing and support, plus the ability to understand and sustain an established customer environment and its associated business processes. Experience supporting business-critical and statutory reporting would be important, as would the capacity to maintain compatibility and service continuity during a handover or migration. The Council’s stated concerns about knowledge transfer, onboarding and establishing support indicate that a supplier would need a clear, low-risk transition approach and strong operational support capability. This procurement was awarded directly to the incumbent, whose existing technical knowledge was central to the rationale.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Renewal of Alteryx Data Analytics Solution

Notice Description

North Tyneside Council intends to directly award a 12-month contract to Billigence Europe Limited for the continued provision of Alteryx licences and associated support. Billigence is the Authority's current reseller and support provider and possesses established technical knowledge of the existing Alteryx environment and associated business processes. Appointing an alternative supplier for this limited transitional period would introduce disproportionate technical and operational difficulties, including knowledge transfer, onboarding and support establishment, creating unnecessary risk to business-critical and statutory reporting functions. Continuation with the incumbent supplier ensures compatibility and service continuity while migration to the replacement solution is completed.
