digital procurement

The digital procurement tag on WindowsForum.com covers public-sector technology purchasing, with a focus on UK local government. Content includes the London Borough of Newham's £27.6 million digital modernisation pipeline, which outlines planned procurements for Microsoft cloud licensing, parking systems, contact-centre technology, property asset management, and merchant payment services between 2026 and 2028. These notices are indicative rather than formal tenders, but they illustrate how councils are shifting toward cloud-based civic infrastructure. Discussions center on the strategic and financial implications of replacing legacy systems through coordinated digital procurement, rather than single transformation programmes.
