The contract was awarded to Iken Business Limited under the tag "award" for a total value of £500,000. The procurement was conducted through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, under the Crown Commercial Service G-Cloud 14 framework.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) focusing on sophisticated legal management systems would find this contract particularly lucrative, given the County Council's emphasis on improved efficiency and documentation in legal proceedings. The framework agreement provides a structured path for suitable businesses to engage with governmental contracts, ensuring a steady stream of work and the potential for future collaboration with the public sector.
