This tender, identified as HCC1911854, falls under the IT services category (CPV 72000000) and is based in Hertfordshire, UK. The tender is currently at the open stage of the procurement process, with a submission deadline set for 8 January 2020. The successful contract is expected to commence on 9 March 2020 and will run until 31 December 2026. The procurement method follows an open procedure which exceeds the threshold for public contracts. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those offering ERP solutions and software development. Companies that can provide robust ICT and e-commerce systems may find this an ideal bidding opportunity, especially those capable of demonstrating scalability and efficiency enhancements. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate as the procurement is suitable for them, which could lead to contracts with a public sector organisation renowned for its extensive service provision across various sectors, including education and healthcare. ## Notice Herts FullStop (HFS) is one of a number of trading arms operated by Hertfordshire County Council and has over 60 years' experience of supplying goods and services to a wide range of customers which include; educational establishments, non-profit making groups such as charities, the NHS, local authorities and childminder groups. HFS is a distributor of products provided via its catalogue service, which has over 18,500 products delivered to customers across the country. A key element to HFS's success is a well-run warehouse and delivery function. This is currently staffed by a team of permanent workers, with temporary workers being bought in at periods of high demand to help keep the service levels at the high standards our customers expect. Systems and support are provided on various areas such as ICT and Telecoms through the relationship with Hertfordshire County Council (HCC), with areas unique to HFS being supported directly with the providers of the Systems concerned.
