Located in Northamptonshire, UK, this opportunity falls under the services category. The college is looking to transition from its hybrid ICT support model and is considering engaging a single managed service provider, targeting system and support services with an estimated gross value of £1.2 million. A preliminary market engagement notice has been published as part of the planning phase, with a deadline for responses on 19th December 2025. The procurement falls under the public authority sub-central government classification, managed through the Delta eSourcing portal, and is informed by UK legislation 2023/54. The contract period is anticipated to start on 1st July 2026 and may extend to 2033 if renewed. This tender presents significant business opportunities for companies specialising in ICT system and support services, technical support, and software services. Businesses that have experience in integrated ICT solutions, and those capable of delivering comprehensive managed services, are particularly well-suited to compete. The engagement phase allows potential bidders to demonstrate how their solutions can meet the college's evolving needs. Participating in the early planning discussions offers companies the chance to influence the development of procurement specifications and strengthens their competitive position in winning this potentially lucrative contract. ## Notice The College currently operates a hybrid ICT support model with the day-to-day end-user support service being delivered in-house. This service is supplemented by third-party specialist providers covering areas such as IT Infrastructure services and security services. The College has no definitive view on whether a future solution should remain hybrid or whether a single managed service provider approach would be better. Prior to developing the full scope for that procurement, the College seeks to engage with suitably qualified organisations to understand what the managed service landscape can offer in terms of meeting the College's needs. The College is keen to explore the full range of delivery models available. The College wishes to hear from any organisation that believes it has an offering that would be of interest.
