## Summary

Suffolk Coastal District Council and Waveney District Council procured e-procurement and contract management software services, classified as a procurement software package (CPV 48490000). The requirement is for software to support the councils’ procurement and contract-management activities. Delivery is in the East of England. The procurement was made through the G-Cloud 14 framework. The selected supplier, In-tend Ltd, provides the software under the award.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to In-tend Ltd on 31 March 2025. The award value is £23,028. The contract period runs from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2029. The council used a selective call-off from the G-Cloud 14 framework, making the award through the framework’s direct-award function. The original tender deadline was 31 March 2025 at 17:00. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published procurement information gives no award-scoring criteria, so the basis for evaluation cannot be described further.

This award shows East Suffolk’s continuing need for software covering both e-procurement and contract management, rather than a standalone purchasing tool. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a product that supports the councils’ procurement workflows and the management of contracts, with the capability to deliver it as a software service. The route used here was a direct award under G-Cloud 14, so suppliers seeking comparable public-sector work should be positioned to supply through that framework and able to meet its requirements. The council identified the procurement as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller software providers can be relevant; the award itself went to In-tend Ltd. The opportunity is specific to procurement and contract-management software for these councils, not a broader IT-services requirement.
