## Summary

Essex County Council has recently completed the procurement process for the replacement of its E-Procurement System, titled "011PA Replacement of Council's E-Procurement System." This initiative is aligned with the need for a comprehensive solution that encompasses all pre-procurement activities, enabling resource planning and collaboration on project milestones. This contract has been awarded to Secure Venture Limited, with the main procurement category being services. The procurement method was indicated as below threshold but unspecified. The contract is active from 30th November 2028, with a potential renewal option available if required, and the gross contract value stands at £173,750. The procurement is geographically situated within Chelmsford, Essex, United Kingdom, under the industry classification of procurement consultancy services, and is classified under sub-central government public authority.

This tender offers business growth opportunities for enterprises specialising in procurement consultancy services, particularly those capable of providing comprehensive solutions for pre-procurement activities. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in system integration and resource planning management stand to benefit considerably. With Essex County Council as the contracting authority, businesses based in the UK can leverage their services to cater to public authorities seeking efficient procurement systems, fostering collaborations and potentially leading to future contracting opportunities in government projects.

## Notice

We are looking for a solution which will systemise all Pre-Procurement Activity and enable resource planning. This requirement is in recognition that we no longer solely require a sourcing and contract management system. A Pre-Procurement solution is a central repository for creating, planning and approving all pre-procurement activity which integrates fully with all other elements and supports project planning for work stages, milestones, resource requirements and enabling collaboration on projects. It also eliminates the need to re-key vital information throughout this stage of the procurement lifecycle.
