## Summary

Leeds City Council procured a domain name management system as an IT service. The requirement covers software and supporting services for managing the council’s domain names, within the wider fields of internet services, technical support and software development. The work is delivered for Leeds City Council in Leeds, England, with the procurement associated with the council’s Civic Hall location. This is a service rather than a supply of physical goods or construction work. The requirement sits within the broad CPV category for IT services, including consulting, software development, internet and support. Suppliers operating domain registration, DNS, portfolio administration or related internet-management platforms would be relevant to this type of requirement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement, specifically G-Cloud 14. Leeds City Council selected Safenames Ltd. The award was made on 21 July 2026 for £20,000, with the contract running from 21 July 2026 to 31 July 2029. The tender submission deadline was 20 July 2026 at 12 noon. The procurement was for services and was assessed through the framework call-off route. The requirement was not identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The selected supplier is Safenames Ltd, a large organisation.

This award shows that Leeds City Council buys domain name management as a defined IT service through the G-Cloud framework route. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a proven domain-management service covering the administration and support of internet domains, together with the technical capability to provide a dependable management system. Experience of handling public-sector or similarly complex domain portfolios would help demonstrate understanding of governance, continuity and support needs, although the procurement records do not set out specific accreditations or technical thresholds. Suppliers should also be able to operate within a framework call-off process and present their service clearly against the buyer’s stated domain-management requirement.
