Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cheshire East Council has awarded a contract variation to System C Healthcare Limited for the procurement of service pack support days, aimed at enhancing the Early Years and Education System. The contract, originally established under the Crown Commercial Service G Cloud 13 framework, was varied to include additional support services, reflecting a total contract value of £553,241, effective from 22 January 2026, with a potential extension option until 31 March 2028. The contract is in the award stage, targeting the software package and information systems industry category, with services to be delivered in the North West region of the United Kingdom.

This procurement presents notable growth opportunities for businesses involved in the development and implementation of software package solutions within the education and healthcare sectors. While the procurement method was selective, businesses adept in providing specialised software support services, especially those experienced in catering to local government contracts, could find similar opportunities advantageous. The contract highlights a significant collaboration with a large supplier, indicating a preference for established organisations capable of managing comprehensive technological solutions. Though not marked for SMEs or VCSEs, such procurements can provide insights into market demands and frameworks utilised by public entities.
