## Summary

The Northern Lighthouse Board has successfully completed a procurement process to award a contract for an eProcurement system, titled "eProcurement." This initiative falls under the category of services, specifically focusing on contact management software. The awarded contract, totalling £61,725, has a duration from 1st November 2020 to 31st October 2025, with an option for an early break after the first three years. The procurement was executed via a direct method, employing a single tender action, and marks a crucial phase in establishing a compliant e-Procurement system which had been initiated earlier in 2018.

This tender presents formidable opportunities for businesses in the technology and software sectors, particularly those specialising in eProcurement systems and related services. Companies adept at developing and managing procurement software, especially those familiar with the G-Cloud framework, would be well-suited to compete in future tenders from the Northern Lighthouse Board or similar contracting authorities. Given the contract's emphasis on technological efficiency and reduced reliance on paper, businesses that offer innovative digital solutions can anticipate growth potential as more organisations transition to digital procurement practices.

## Notice

The Northern Lighthouse utilised G-Cloud 9 Framework in September 2018 to appoint Delta e- sourcing to provide the software for NLB to ensure that we had a compliant e-Procurement system in place covering; Tender Manager Quick Call Supplier Manager Workspace Manager NLB would now like to appoint Delta for up to a further five years, the agreement will have an optional break clause after the first three years in the event that NLB wish to terminate and or consider any requirements to move onto a Centralised System that DfT may have such as Jaeger. Within the last two years NLB Procurement Staff have developed a good knowledge of the system and have trained various internal staff on using the evaluation tools that have ensured the evaluation process is completed electronically and this has been very beneficial with staff working remotely as an impact of COVID and ensuring that there are no delays with the Procurement Process - Additional benefit has been the reduction in paper copies being utilised throughout NLB.
