## Summary

Essex Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Fire and Rescue Authority procured the Delta eSourcing platform for Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. This is a software and information systems requirement: provision of an electronic sourcing platform to support the service’s procurement activity. The recorded delivery location is Essex, United Kingdom. The requirement is a single, undivided package rather than a set of separately described work areas.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to BIP Solutions Ltd. The authority used a below-threshold direct award without competition. The contract was signed on 2 October 2026 and runs from 15 November 2026 to 14 November 2031. Its value is £49,075 excluding VAT (£58,890 including VAT). The award covers one lot. No evaluation criteria are recorded for this direct award.

This award shows demand at Essex County Fire and Rescue Service for a dedicated eSourcing platform, rather than general software supply. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need to provide a platform suitable for the service’s procurement activity and demonstrate that it can support the authority’s operational requirements over a multi-year contract. BIP Solutions Ltd, a small and medium-sized enterprise, was selected through a direct award without competition; the published outcome does not establish comparative scoring or technical thresholds. Suppliers with a relevant sourcing-platform product and experience serving public-sector procurement teams are the closest fit for this buyer’s requirement.
