Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Walsall Metro Borough Council procured an end-to-end procurement and contract management system, classified as procurement software and delivered as a service. The system is intended to support the complete procurement lifecycle, from forward planning and market engagement through tendering and contract award to performance monitoring and contract closure. It must also support compliance with statutory requirements for transparency, publication and mandatory key performance indicators. The requirement covers software and associated implementation or service capability needed to operate the system across the Council’s procurement and contract management activities. The work is for Walsall Metro Borough Council in Walsall, England, and the opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure through a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 10 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Atamis Limited on 13 July 2026 for £212,500. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 13 September 2030. The awarded supplier is responsible for the requirement described above. The procurement was categorised as a services contract, with the software element classified under procurement software packages. The award is active, indicating that the selected supplier remains the recorded provider for the contract. The procurement therefore provides a clear example of the Council’s chosen route for acquiring this type of system.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award indicates demand from Walsall Metro Borough Council for a mature procurement and contract management platform rather than a narrow tendering tool. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate an end-to-end product covering planning, market engagement, sourcing, award, contract performance and closure, with strong workflow and audit controls. It would also need to support statutory transparency, publication obligations and mandatory KPI management in a practical, configurable way. Relevant suppliers are likely to be software businesses with public-sector procurement experience, reliable implementation and support teams, information governance capability, and the capacity to integrate a system into an authority’s existing processes. Framework access and SME delivery capability would also be commercially relevant.
