Summary of the contracting process

Wakefield Council bought financial assessment software and related digital tools to increase the proportion of assessments completed online, improve transparency and support sustainable care packages. The requirement is a digital service rather than general software supply: the tools need to support financial assessment processes connected with care. Delivery is identified across Yorkshire and the Humber, with Wakefield Council as the buyer. The procurement was categorised as services, covering software and information systems. This gives suppliers working in financial assessment technology, digital public services or software implementation a clear indication of the type of requirement and public-sector user involved.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Infoshare+ Limited. The award was made on 27 July 2025, with a contract period from 28 July 2025 to 27 July 2027. The awarded value is £116,500. The tender’s estimated value was £174,750; this is separate from the awarded amount. The council used a selective call-off from the CCS G-Cloud 14 framework. The tender deadline was 27 July 2025. Small and medium-sized enterprises were identified as suitable. The procurement information does not set out an evaluation basis, so the award decision cannot be characterised further from the published details.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates Wakefield Council’s demand for digital tools focused on financial assessments for care. A credible competitor would need software suited to this specific process, including support for online completion and transparent assessment, and an ability to help the council pursue sustainable care packages. The requirement is a defined council service rather than a general technology deployment, so relevant financial-assessment product expertise and the ability to deliver tools for public-sector use are central. The council used a G-Cloud framework call-off, making experience supplying through that route commercially relevant. SMEs were considered suitable, indicating that this type of requirement is not restricted to large suppliers.
