## Summary

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames procured a digital services platform, classed as IT services covering consulting, software development, internet and support (CPV 72000000). The stated requirement is for provision of the platform; no more detailed functions or deliverables are set out. The procurement is categorised as a service, with delivery in England. This is a technology platform requirement for suppliers providing digital services, rather than a defined purchase of hardware or construction work. The borough is the buying organisation. The requirement is presented as one platform procurement, with no separate work packages described.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded by direct award. GRANICUS-FIRMSTEP Ltd was selected on 4 September 2026. The awarded value is £663,420. The contract period runs from 5 September 2026 to 4 September 2030. The original tender response deadline was 4 September 2026. No separate lots or evaluation criteria are stated, so the basis for selecting the supplier beyond the direct-award route is not described. The contract is for the borough’s digital services platform, with delivery in England. The procurement record identifies the award as active and the overall tender status as complete.

The award shows that the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames has purchased a digital services platform through a direct award, at a scale that supports a multi-year service relationship. Suppliers competing for a comparable requirement would need to demonstrate the ability to provide and support a platform, alongside relevant digital services such as software development, internet services or consulting where these are part of the buyer’s eventual specification. The selected supplier is identified as an SME, indicating that a smaller specialist provider has delivered this requirement; the procurement does not establish that SME status was a selection condition. A credible competitor would need evidence of delivery capacity and dependable support across an extended contract, while tailoring its offer to the borough’s platform needs. The scope provides no basis for claiming specific technical features, accreditations or experience requirements.ясп} тәтқиқ 񟿿
