## Summary

Stowmarket Town Council is procuring ICT managed services and consultancy support for its operational and strategic needs in delivering its Digital Strategy. The managed service covers the supply and installation of ICT solutions, system configuration and management, ongoing on-site and remote support, health checks, management information system support and staff training. The consultancy service covers ICT strategy and delivery, connectivity, cloud solutions, safeguarding, cyber security, project management, cost modelling, risk management, digital strategy, disaster recovery and innovation. The work is classified as computer support and consultancy services and will be delivered for the Town Council in the United Kingdom. The requirement combines hands-on service provision with specialist advice rather than a single project or isolated support service.

The process has reached tender: Stowmarket Town Council invited offers through an open procedure. Bids may be submitted electronically in English, with email submissions directed to the stated procurement address, by 6 October 2026 at 23:59. The evaluation and award period is due to end on 6 November 2026. The single lot has an estimated value of £27,500 excluding VAT, or £33,000 including VAT. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2029, with an extension option allowing a maximum five-year period and an end date of 31 December 2031. Evaluation is based on managed ICT services evidence (30%), consultancy and strategic support evidence (25%), service delivery, resilience and contract management (20%), and price and value for money (25%).

This opportunity suits an ICT provider able to deliver both an integrated managed service and senior consultancy support. Strong candidates will be able to supply, install, configure, manage and support ICT systems remotely and on site, carry out health checks, provide management information system support and train staff. They will also need credible expertise in connectivity, cloud services, safeguarding, cyber security, project and risk management, cost modelling, digital strategy, disaster recovery and innovation. The evaluation places particular emphasis on evidence of comparable managed ICT delivery and consultancy and strategic support, alongside resilient service delivery and effective contract management. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and also favours suppliers able to provide hardware and software purchasing support while achieving best value.
