## Summary

The recent public procurement process by Buckinghamshire Council focused on the contract titled "Better Buckinghamshire Digital Support" within the internet services industry. The procurement utilised a selective (restricted) procedure and was completed with a value of £910,000. The contract period commenced on 1st March 2021 and will conclude on 28th February 2023. Significant dates include the tender deadline on 2nd December 2020 and the contract award date on 26th January 2021. The service delivery is expected in the South East region of England, specifically from the Council's headquarters located in Aylesbury.

This contract presents a substantial opportunity for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in digital services and consultancy. Businesses equipped to enhance website functionality, service design, or digital development would be particularly well-suited to compete for similar future contracts. Engaging with Buckinghamshire Council could foster long-term collaboration opportunities, especially as they move to modernise their digital offerings post-transition from former councils.

## Notice

In April 2020 the five former councils in Buckinghamshire became a new unitary authority, Buckinghamshire Council. We developed a MVP site prior to launch and have steadily added functionality in the interim, but the contract for that work is approaching its end. We therefore want to work with a service design and digital development partner to build on the work that's been done to date by redesigning and migrating the services that are still delivered through our legacy websites, so that the old sites can be closed down.
