## Summary

The Liverpool City Council has recently completed a procurement process titled "ICT Hardware, Software and Services Framework_25" under an open procedure. This contract, valued at £25,000,000, was designed for the supply of ICT hardware, software, and professional services across various council and partner organisations, including Halton Borough Council, Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council, and others within the Liverpool City Region. The awarded contract, part of a multi-lot, multi-supplier framework, spans four years, from 23 June 2025 to 22 June 2029. Suppliers like Bytes Software Services, Phoenix Software Ltd, and Softcat plc have been selected for this. The framework falls under the industry category of computer equipment and supplies, and software packages, aligning with CPV codes 30200000 and 48000000. The submission deadline for tenders was 20 March 2025.

This procurement framework offers significant opportunities for growth, particularly for SMEs and VCSEs, given the Council's inclusivity criteria. Businesses involved in computer equipment, software supply, and professional services within the ICT sector are well-suited to engage with this opportunity. The framework's division into corporate and education hardware and software lots allows for tailored participation, expanding the chance for suppliers to penetrate diverse verticals in the public sector. This procurement model not only provides potential for long-term partnerships with major regional councils but also represents a substantial commercial engagement for tech firms looking to expand or establish their presence in the North West of England.
