Summary of the contracting process

Kingston upon Hull City Council procured ongoing licensing, support and maintenance for its Exegesis system. This is software-related services work, delivered in England. The requirement concerns continued use and upkeep of an existing system rather than the supply of a newly described software product.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The council made a direct award without competition, using a below-threshold route. IDOX Software Ltd was awarded the contract. It was signed on 5 February 2025 and runs from that date to 1 April 2026. The contract value is £35,641 excluding VAT (£42,769 including VAT). The procurement was arranged as a single lot. The published details do not state an award date separately.

For suppliers considering similar work for Kingston upon Hull City Council, this contract shows demand for continued licensing, support and maintenance of the Exegesis system. A credible competitor would need to provide the relevant software licensing and dependable ongoing support and maintenance for that specific system. The council used a direct award without competition for this requirement, so the process recorded here does not provide evidence of a competitive evaluation or stated technical and accreditation requirements.
