## Summary

The Derbyshire County Council has awarded a contract for the supply of an email alert and newsletter solution to Granicus-Firmstep Limited. This procurement falls under the 'Software package and information systems' category and entails providing a comprehensive digital communication solution that includes email marketing, campaigns, internal communications, text, two-way text, alerts, RSS, and social media integration. The process followed a direct procurement method, specifically a direct award, without the involvement of an open tender. The contract will run from 5 September 2025 to 4 September 2028, with the transaction value amounting to £160,500. This award is situated within England, United Kingdom, and was finalised on 28 August 2025.
