## Summary

Nottinghamshire County Council procured an email management platform for its Communications and Marketing function. This is a software service intended to support the council’s email management needs. The recorded delivery area is the East Midlands. The procurement identifies the service as software and information systems (CPV 48000000).

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to GRANICUS-FIRMSTEP Ltd on 13 September 2025. The awarded value was £53,500. The contract period runs from 22 September 2025 to 17 September 2026. The tender deadline was 2 September 2025. The procurement method is recorded as “Other”, with no further method detail. The published information does not set out an evaluation basis or describe lots or supplier eligibility requirements.

This award provides evidence of Nottinghamshire County Council’s demand for an email management platform specifically serving a Communications and Marketing function. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to provide software and associated service capability focused on managing email for communications and marketing teams. The selected supplier was recorded as an SME, while the council’s procurement marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises; this award alone therefore offers no clear basis to conclude that smaller suppliers were invited or preferred. Suppliers should assess their ability to meet a council-wide public-sector requirement of this scale and to deliver the platform across the East Midlands.
