Summary of the contracting process

Gateshead Borough Council has procured the Info4LocalGov Portal, an online service providing corporate, aggregated access to statutory documentation, legislative updates and technical regulations. The purchase is classified as software and information systems. The service is for the council’s use, with delivery in Gateshead, in the North East of England. It brings together reference material and updates relevant to local government in a single portal. The requirement is for access to an online information service rather than physical goods or construction work.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. ALLIUM UK HOLDING LIMITED was awarded the contract. The contract was signed on 24 September 2026 and runs from that date to 30 September 2027. Its value is £70,582.44 including VAT. This was a below-threshold procurement; the specific procedure is recorded as unknown. The requirement was arranged as one lot. The published award information does not describe evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility conditions.

This award shows demand from Gateshead Borough Council for a subscription-style online portal that consolidates statutory documents, legislative updates and technical regulations for corporate use. Suppliers competing for a similar requirement would need to demonstrate a dependable, easy-to-use information service, broad and relevant coverage of local-government material, and the ability to keep documentation and updates current. The buyer selected a large supplier, indicating the scale of the organisation that won, but the published information does not establish a minimum supplier size or particular accreditation. Credible competitors would be able to support the portal throughout its operating period and provide reliable access to aggregated content, while pricing and service scope would need to suit a single-council requirement of this scale. The procurement used a below-threshold route.
