## Summary

Dover District Council procured content management system (CMS) software, classified as software packages and information systems (CPV 48000000). The requirement is for the provision of CMS software; the procurement description does not set out particular functions, implementation work or support services. The buyer is Dover District Council, based in Whitfield, Dover. The software is for delivery in the Dover area, Kent. This is a software supply requirement rather than a works contract, with one lot covering the procurement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Zengenti Limited. Dover District Council used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 2 October 2026 and runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029. Its value is £102,600 excluding VAT (£123,120 including VAT). The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement had one lot. The published information does not give a scored evaluation basis; the contract was awarded without a competitive process.

This award shows Dover District Council buys CMS software as a single-lot requirement and has used a direct, non-competitive route for this purchase. Zengenti Limited, an SME, was selected, so a smaller specialist software supplier was capable of supplying the requirement. Suppliers seeking to compete for a comparable future need should be able to provide and maintain a content management system suitable for a local authority and demonstrate credible delivery for council use. The requirement is specifically for CMS software, rather than a broader digital transformation or website-services package. The contract period indicates a multi-year software requirement; competitors should be prepared to support a sustained council deployment across that term.
