Summary of the contracting process

North Tyneside Council has renewed a specialist case management system for its Youth Justice Service. The system records youth justice activity in line with Ministry of Justice and Youth Justice Board data requirements, and supports statutory returns required for the service’s grant funding. This is a software and IT services requirement, delivered for the council’s Youth Justice Service in North Tyneside, North East England.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to NEC Software Solutions UK Limited. North Tyneside Council made a direct award through a call-off from the Government Commercial Agency’s Vertical Application Solutions framework. The award date was 30 June 2026, and the contract was finalised and executed on 16 October 2026. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2028. The awarded value is £59,610; the estimated value range was £39,053 to £59,610. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off; no separate evaluation criteria are stated.

This award demonstrates demand for specialist software that supports youth justice case management and statutory reporting. A credible supplier for a future requirement would need a system capable of recording Youth Justice Service activity against Ministry of Justice and Youth Justice Board data requirements and producing statutory returns linked to grant funding. Experience maintaining or renewing this type of specialist application, and ensuring it meets the service’s operational and reporting needs, would be directly relevant. The council used a framework call-off route and selected a large software supplier; businesses targeting similar work should consider whether they can compete through the relevant framework and deliver a service of comparable scope.
