Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Essex County Council procured a youth offending case management solution: software and related information systems to support the management of youth offending cases. The requirement is a services contract delivered in the East of England. It was sourced through the YPO 1095 Software Application Solutions Framework Agreement, so the underlying need is for an established application solution rather than a one-off software development project. The named buying organisation is Essex County Council, based at County Hall in Chelmsford. The procurement sits within the public-sector software and digital services market, with a specific focus on case management for youth offending services and the operational teams that deliver them.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made to Access UK Ltd on 14 July 2026 for £108,308. The contract runs from 23 July 2026 to 22 July 2029, giving a three-year delivery period; the original requirement described a two-year term with an optional 12-month extension. The tender submission deadline was 14 July 2026 at 12:00. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It was evaluated as a services requirement for a software application solution, with no separate lots recorded.

For software suppliers, case-management specialists and implementation partners, this award demonstrates a defined public-sector demand for technology supporting youth offending work in the East of England. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a mature case management application, experience configuring and implementing software for public services, and the capacity to support operational users throughout a multi-year service. Familiarity with youth justice workflows, safeguarding-sensitive information, secure data handling, reporting and integration would strengthen a supplier’s position, provided those capabilities are evidenced against the buyer’s specific requirements. The route to market is also significant: suppliers seeking similar work should understand the relevant YPO framework and its call-off process.
