9. Direct award
   RDG AWS Gateway & API development and support and maintenance services

   Rail Settlement Plan Limited · 10 Sept 2026 · Theodo Limited · Official notice

   Rationale: The direct award to Theodo Limited complying with the convertible contract concept, concerns the supply of services by the existing supplier which are intended as an extension to services based on the circumstances where a change in supplier would result in the contracting authority receiving services that are different from, and incompatible with, the existing services, and the difference or incompatibility would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation or maintenance. The AWS Gateway & API development and support and maintenance services have been embedded in the delivery of migrating all of RDG’s Mulesoft platform services into the AWS platform. To move away from Theodo at this point in the project would have a significant negative impact on time sensitive project. RDG is looking to run two procurements in the coming months for these services. The first will be for a supplier to maintain RDG’s AWS Gateway, including any new requirements to the platform, and the second procurement will be for a Dynamic Marketplace for the provision / development of API’s and the support and maintenance associated with managing these APIs. Both these procurements shall run in FY 26-27. This award intends to ensure compliancy with PA23 for any additional spend with Theodo Limited until the new contracts are in place that will be procured in compliance with an above public contracts threshold procurement process legislation. The spend figure incorporates spend from the first agreement with the supplier from 24th Feb 2025 (inception of PA23) and spend expcted until the procurement is completed early 2027

10. Direct award
    PHOENIX TECHNICAL REFRESH PHASE 3

    Rail Staff Travel Limited · 10 Sept 2026 · Tracsis PLC · Official notice

    Rationale: The contract is being awarded in reliance on Schedule 5, paragraph 6 of the Procurement Act 2023, on the basis that competition is absent for technical reasons and there are no reasonable alternatives. The requirement relates to Phase 3 of the Phoenix Technical Refresh Programme, which is the final stage of an existing three-phase programme to modernise the Phoenix Staff Travel Management and Administration System. Phases 1 and 2 have already been delivered by the incumbent supplier, Tracsis, and have established the modernised architecture, software components, integration approach and migration framework upon which Phase 3 is dependent. Completion of Phase 3 requires detailed technical knowledge of the architecture, configuration, business rules and implementation established through the earlier phases. Appointment of an alternative supplier would require substantial rediscovery, reverse engineering, technical assurance and reconstruction of knowledge already developed during the programme before delivery could safely proceed. This would result in significant duplication of effort, increased cost, programme delay and additional operational risk to a live business-critical system supporting rail staff travel services. Accordingly, only the incumbent supplier can reasonably complete the required services and there are no reasonable alternatives that would enable delivery of the programme without substantial technical rework and unacceptable operational risk

    Provision of Suffolk Adult Learning Service

    Suffolk County Council · 10 Sept 2026 · REALISE FUTURES CIC · Official notice

    Rationale: Suffolk County Council is part of the Devolution Priority Programme. A Mayoral Combined County Authority for Norfolk and Suffolk, with strategic powers and led by an elected Mayor, is intended to be established. The Government announced on 4 December 2025 that the inaugural mayoral election would be delayed until 2028. However, Adult Skills Funding has been devolved in other areas without a Mayor, and it is therefore expected that Adult Skills Funding will be devolved from academic year 2027/28, from August 2027. At that point, delivery and procurement responsibilities are expected to transfer from Suffolk County Council to the Norfolk and Suffolk Mayoral Combined County Authority. To ensure continuity of service during this transition period, Suffolk County Council proposes to make a direct award to the incumbent provider, Realise Futures, for a period of one year, with an option to extend for a further year. This will maintain service continuity and align the contractual arrangement with the anticipated devolution timetable.
