Summary of the contracting process

North Northamptonshire Council procured annual licensing, support and maintenance for the Evo Transport module within its Synergy Education Case Management System. The software supports the council’s transport-related education case management requirements. This is a specialist software support and maintenance service, classified under software packages and information systems (CPV 48000000). Delivery is for the council’s operations in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The requirement is centred on maintaining access to an existing transport module rather than supplying a new standalone system. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are software vendors, authorised application providers and specialist support partners with capability in education case management platforms and transport-related functionality.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. North Northamptonshire Council used a selective procedure as a call-off from the Government Commercial Agency Vertical Application Solutions framework (RM6259). The tender submission deadline was 22 July 2026 at 5pm, and the award was made on 22 July 2026. Access UK Limited was selected for an awarded value of £218,318.15 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 23 July 2026 to 22 July 2031. The award is active and covers the same licensing, support and maintenance requirement for the Evo Transport module within Synergy. No lots are identified.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates established demand from North Northamptonshire Council for continued specialist support of the Evo Transport module within Synergy. A credible future competitor would need strong knowledge of the relevant software, reliable annual licensing administration, responsive technical support and maintenance capability, and the ability to protect continuity for an education case management service. Experience supporting transport functions within public-sector or education environments would help demonstrate suitability, particularly where the supplier must understand operational users, data and existing system dependencies. The route also shows the importance of access to the relevant Government Commercial Agency framework and the capacity expected of an established, larger software provider.
