## Summary

This public procurement process was conducted by Torbay Council, located in Torquay, England, aimed at obtaining an ICT software licence and support for Local Education Authority (LEA) functions. The procurement falls under the industry category of software packages and information systems, with an additional emphasis on IT services, including consulting and support. The procurement method was selective, specifically a competitive dialogue above the threshold, leading to a completed award stage. The contract, valued at £745,000, began on 1st April 2012 and continues until 31st March 2025, with delivery locations in the South West region of the United Kingdom.

Businesses with a strong background in ICT software development and support services will find this tender particularly promising for growth, especially those capable of providing perennial licensing coupled with annual support. Large-scale enterprises, such as Capita Business Services Limited, which was the awarded supplier, are examples of well-suited candidates due to their ability to manage long-term, high-value contracts that demand consistent and reliable service output, although this specific contract does not favour small to medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs).
