Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Social Work England procured document bundling software and associated implementation, support and maintenance services. The software is intended to create and manage electronic hearing bundles and related documentation, making this a document management software service rather than a general IT supply contract. The work is for Social Work England, based in Sheffield, and delivery is in Yorkshire and the Humber. The procurement is classified under CPV 48311000 for document management software packages and falls within the services category. The requirement would suit providers of specialist case-document or hearing-bundle platforms, particularly those able to support the operational needs of a UK public body handling formal hearings and substantial related documentation.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective direct call-off from the Crown Commercial Service G-Cloud 14 Framework Agreement (RM1557.14). The tender submission deadline was 2 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 19 August 2026 to Meditati Limited, trading as Bundledocs, an Irish supplier. The awarded value is £149,760, and the contract runs from 9 September 2026 to 8 September 2029. Social Work England identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The evaluation route was a framework call-off rather than an open competition, with the selected supplier providing the software, implementation, support and maintenance services described in the requirement.

For competitors, this award demonstrates a defined requirement from Social Work England for specialist software that supports electronic hearing bundles and associated documentation throughout a multi-year service. A credible supplier for a future requirement would need a proven document bundling or document management platform, with practical functionality for creating, organising and managing hearing materials. It would also need to provide reliable implementation, ongoing technical support and maintenance, rather than software licences alone. The procurement route shows the importance of eligibility for, and capability to operate through, a public-sector technology framework such as G-Cloud. The buyer’s stated SME suitability indicates that a focused specialist provider could be well placed if it can evidence secure, dependable delivery for formal hearing environments.
