UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

City of York Council procured BT Active Intelligence Insights, a location-intelligence service using footfall patterns and demographic trends to inform council decisions. The insights support city-centre planning, regeneration schemes, special events, understanding remote-working trends, and development of the council’s night-time strategy. The requirement is for a telecommunications service, delivered in York. Its practical focus is turning location data into evidence that can help the council plan services and allocate resources across the city.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. City of York Council awarded the single lot to British Telecommunications Limited through a direct award without competition, using a below-threshold procedure. The contract was signed on 1 October 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028. Its gross value is £30,400. The procurement data identifies the service and the intended uses of its insights, but provides no separate evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements. The selected supplier is a large telecommunications company.

For suppliers tracking this buyer’s demand, the award indicates a requirement for location intelligence that can translate footfall and demographic trends into practical support for council planning. Relevant capability includes access to useful location data and the ability to produce insights that inform city-centre activity, regeneration, events, remote-working patterns, resource allocation and night-time strategy. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate that its service can serve these varied planning purposes for a local authority, rather than offer telecommunications connectivity alone. The council used a direct award without competition for this below-threshold purchase, so this outcome also shows the route used for this particular requirement; it does not establish a competitive evaluation model or specific supplier qualifications.
