Summary of the contracting process

Bassetlaw District Council bought a three-year Gold subscription to Engage Process software, together with training and consultancy to help staff use it effectively. The software supports organisation-wide process mapping, interrogation and improvement, including development and transformation projects, while enabling knowledge transfer between departments and stakeholders. This is a combined software supply and software consultancy requirement, rather than a standalone technology purchase. The council is based in Worksop, Nottinghamshire, and the tool is intended for use across the council and its internal departments and stakeholders. Relevant businesses include providers of process-management or business-process software, implementation partners, and consultancies able to support adoption, process improvement and organisational transformation.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 30 April 2024 to We Are Lean and Agile. The award value was £94,327. The contract runs from 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2027. It was a selective procurement using a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open standalone tender. The tender submission deadline was 29 April 2024 at 5pm. The requirement was classified primarily as software consultancy services, with software supply services as an additional category. The opportunity was identified as suitable for both SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The recorded outcome is one active award to the named supplier, covering the software subscription and associated training and consultancy.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible supplier would need to provide a mature process-mapping and process-improvement software product, together with the consultancy capability to implement it across a council. The successful delivery model combines licensing with practical training, user support and knowledge transfer, so suppliers should be able to work with multiple departments and stakeholder groups rather than only supply software. Experience supporting development, transformation and business-process improvement projects would be relevant, as would the capacity to help public-sector users interrogate existing processes and turn findings into improvements. The award also shows demand for a substantial multi-year software-and-services package procured through a framework call-off.
