Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kirklees Council procured an integrated adult social care management system. The requirement covers software licensing, hosting, support and maintenance, alongside finance functionality, system interfaces and service-management arrangements. This is an IT software and support service, intended for delivery in Kirklees, Yorkshire and the Humber. The system is for managing adult social care services; the procurement does not describe specific service-user groups, operational modules or interface partners. The council is the buyer, and the contract was awarded to Access UK Limited. The original route was a call-off from a software applications framework, specifically its health and social care systems lot.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Access UK Limited on 24 September 2026. The award value is £1,306,616.70. The contract period runs from 11 November 2026 to 10 November 2036. Kirklees Council used a selective call-off procedure under the YPO Software Applications Solutions Framework. The tender response deadline was 28 May 2026 at 13:00. The requirement was procured as a single integrated system rather than separate lots, and the award record does not set out evaluation criteria or bidder eligibility requirements. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, though the selected supplier is classified as a large business.

For suppliers considering future adult social care system requirements from Kirklees Council, this award demonstrates demand for a long-term, integrated solution rather than stand-alone software. A credible competitor would need to provide licensing, hosted delivery, ongoing support and maintenance, finance functionality, interfaces and service-management arrangements as a joined-up service. The purchase also shows that the council used a health and social care systems framework route, so suppliers would need an appropriate route to market as well as a product and delivery model suited to that framework category. Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable for this requirement, indicating that scale alone need not rule them out; however, competitors would need to demonstrate the capacity to sustain a complex adult social care system and its supporting services over an extended contract.
