Summary of the contracting process

Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council has procured address search engine and management software, classified as software and information systems. This is a cloud software service delivered for the council in Rotherham. The requirement is for the software itself; no further functional scope is described. The council is the buyer, and the procurement was made through the cloud software category of the G-Cloud framework. This is a software procurement rather than a supply of physical goods or construction work.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Idox Software Ltd. The award was made on 8 October 2026 for £28,500. The contract runs from 31 October 2026 to 30 October 2029, a 36-month term. The council used a selective call-off from a framework agreement, specifically G-Cloud 14. The stated tender deadline was 8 October 2026 at 17:00. The contract was evaluated through the framework call-off process; no award scoring criteria or lot-by-lot breakdown are provided in the procurement details.

This award shows demand from Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council for cloud-based address search and management software, procured through the G-Cloud framework. Suppliers seeking to compete for the same requirement when it returns to market would need a suitable cloud software product that supports address searching and management, and the ability to supply it through the relevant framework route. The contract’s three-year duration indicates a sustained software service rather than a one-off purchase. The awarded supplier is a large software company, but the procurement records no specific technical standards, accreditations, implementation services or capacity thresholds; competitors should focus on demonstrating a credible product and framework eligibility.
