Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

London Borough of Barnet procured vertical application software for its children and families services, under the Government Commercial Agency’s RM6259 framework for vertical application solutions. The requirement is described as Lot 2, covering education and social care solutions, and is centred on Liquidlogic. The purchase is software and information systems rather than a general social care delivery service: suppliers in this market provide applications supporting children and families services. The stated delivery coverage includes the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories, Europe and the rest of the world. Barnet is the buying organisation. The scope is specifically tied to its children and families service, making relevant experience with comparable public-sector applications more pertinent than general-purpose software alone.

The procurement is complete and the award is active. Liquidlogic Limited was selected on 30 September 2026. The awarded value is £1,042,760. The contract period runs from 2 October 2026 to 1 October 2031, with a stated five-year term and an option to extend for a further two years. The procurement used an open procedure through the RM6259 framework. The tender submission deadline was 30 September 2026. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Its evaluation basis is not described in the process information provided, so the award outcome and selected supplier are the available indicators of the result. The award relates to the children and families service requirement described for Lot 2.

For suppliers that did not win, this award is evidence that Barnet buys specialist vertical application software for children and families services through the RM6259 framework. A credible competitor for a comparable future requirement would need to offer software suited to education and social care workflows and demonstrate its relevance to children and families services, rather than rely on a generic software proposition. The contract’s five-year term, with a possible extension, indicates a substantial, sustained service requirement rather than a short deployment alone. The process was suitable for SMEs, showing that smaller suppliers can be relevant to this kind of competition. The selected supplier, Liquidlogic, is the benchmark for the outcome; the available information does not identify particular technical specifications, accreditations or capacity thresholds.
