Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council procured a coroners case management and workflow system for Suffolk Coroners Service. The requirement covers the supply, implementation and ongoing maintenance of software to manage coroners’ cases and related workflows. This is an information technology service spanning software, implementation support and system support, classified under CPV 72000000. Delivery is for the council’s coroners service in Suffolk, in the East of England. The buying organisation is Suffolk County Council. The requirement is relevant to software providers with a product for coroners or comparable regulated casework, together with the implementation capability needed to configure and introduce it within a public-sector service and provide continuing maintenance and support. It is also relevant to firms able to deliver through the G-Cloud 14 framework.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. It was run as a selective call-off from the G-Cloud 14 Framework Agreement (RM1557.14), rather than as an open standalone tender. The contract was awarded on 5 August 2026 to WPC Software Limited. The awarded value is £125,000. The contract period runs from 9 October 2026 to 9 October 2030. The published procurement information identifies the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award was made for the full requirement described: supplying, implementing and maintaining the coroners case management system. The selection route therefore depended on being an eligible G-Cloud 14 supplier and meeting the buyer’s requirements through the framework call-off process. The recorded award is active.

This award shows a defined demand from Suffolk County Council for specialist digital case-management capability in coroners’ services, delivered through a public-sector framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a working case management and workflow product, the ability to support coroners’ operational processes, and sufficient implementation expertise to configure, deploy and embed the system. Ongoing technical support and maintenance are also central to the requirement, so suppliers would need dependable service delivery after implementation rather than a software-only offer. The buyer’s identification of the opportunity as suitable for SMEs indicates that a smaller specialist technology provider can be a credible competitor. Experience delivering secure, reliable public-sector or other regulated casework systems, and the ability to transact through an appropriate framework route, would strengthen a supplier’s position when this type of requirement returns.
