## Summary

Southampton City Council has concluded a contracting process titled "Hosting and Managed Services," encompassing the procurement of IT services, particularly consulting, software development, internet, and support, for a hosted and managed delivery model. The procurement aligns with the services category and focuses on housing, environmental, and planning solutions under Lot 3 of the RM6259 Vertical Application Solutions framework. The contract, awarded without prior publication of a call for competition, was directly secured by IDOX Software Ltd, the sole supplier, under Crown Commercial Services criteria due to the exclusive availability of services. The contract was signed on 27th June 2025 and is valued at £338,793.43, covering the UK region and completed as of 2nd July 2025.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specializing in IT services and software solutions, particularly those that could supply or facilitate transitioning to a hosted or managed services infrastructure. Companies skilled in network management, software upgrades, maintenance provisions, and the seamless integration of environmental and planning systems would find this scope ideally suited. Additionally, large-scale suppliers experienced with government contracts and the capacity to deliver bespoke and exclusive service arrangements similar to those offered by IDOX Software Ltd would be well-positioned to engage in such opportunities in future procurement activities, fostering growth and service expansion within the public sector.
