Summary of the contracting process

Gedling Borough Council procured cloud-based legal case management and time-recording software, together with associated services. The requirement was for Iken Cloud Legal Case Management and Time Recording software, supporting the council’s legal case administration and recording of time spent on work. It falls within the software packages and information systems category. The buying organisation is Gedling Borough Council, based at the Civic Centre, Arnot Hill Park, Arnold, Nottingham. Delivery is associated with the council’s location in Arnold, Nottingham. This was a goods procurement, although the requirement also included associated services alongside the software. The selected solution was supplied by Iken Business Limited, an SME specialising in the named Iken cloud product.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Iken Business Limited on 24 July 2026. The awarded value was £46,934.40 including the stated currency, GBP. The contract runs from 27 July 2026 to 26 July 2029; this period comprises a two-year core contract and one 12-month extension. The purchase was made through a selective call-off from Lot 2 of the G-Cloud 14 framework for cloud software, rather than through an open competition. The tender submission deadline was 24 July 2026 at 12:00. The award is active, and the contract period and value are stated at procurement level and in the award outcome.

For suppliers assessing comparable public-sector demand, this award indicates a council requirement for a complete cloud legal case management and time-recording solution rather than standalone generic software. A credible competitor would need to provide functionality comparable with Iken Cloud Legal Case Management and Time Recording, together with the associated services needed to support its use by a local authority legal function. Experience of delivering cloud software through a public-sector framework call-off would be commercially relevant, particularly under the G-Cloud route. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so an SME with a focused legal technology product and the capacity to support council implementation and ongoing service delivery would be well placed when this requirement returns.
