Summary of the contracting process

Stockton-On-Tees Borough Council has finalised a selective procurement process for the delivery of an Adult Social Care Case Management System. The contract, titled "DA from the GCA Vertical Application Solutions FW for the Adult's Social Care Case Management System," involves a call-off from a framework agreement to address software package and information systems needs within the industry. The procurement, valued at £409,222.74, is set in the North East region of the United Kingdom. With the procurement stage marked as complete and significant dates, such as the end of the tender period on 1st June 2026 and contract start on 1st October 2026, the council has awarded the contract to Liquidlogic Limited.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for companies specialising in large-scale software solutions and information systems. The selected procurement method, a call-off from a framework, reduces the barriers to entry compared to an open tender, making it ideal for pre-established framework suppliers. It excludes suitability for SMEs and VCSE businesses, indicating potential growth primarily for larger corporations. Engaging in such a contract will enable business expansion through consistent service provision over the four-year term, while also solidifying a company's reputation in delivering statutory-compliant systems for the public sector.

Notice Information

Notice Title

DA from the GCA Vertical Application Solutions FW for the Adult's Social Care Case Management System

Notice Description

Stockton-On-Tees Borough Council have a statutory responsibility to provide an Adults Social Care Service. The service is required to have a compliant, assured social care case management / care recording system in place to allow the effective assessment and review of all ASC clients and service users in Stockton-on-Tees. The existing solution has reached the end of its contract term, with no further contract extensions available. Failure to provide a compliant solution would also impact on DHSC / CQC inspections and is necessary to fulfil related statutory performance monitoring and reporting functions. Adults Social Care as a service would cease to function due to inability of workers and front door staff to access the case files for all new, current and historic service users. Payments would stop to all Social Care providers, currently valued at approximately PS7.5 million per month. We would not be able to meet our statutory duty for providing an Adult Social Care service. To re-procure and implement a system of this size, this would require 2-3 years. As the contract is due to start October 2026, we do not have the time to run a tender. Additionally, by remaining with the incumbent supplier, we will avoid any implementation, data migration and mobilisation costs. Consequently, bringing the value of this contract down.
