Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council has completed the procurement process for a Blue Badge Case Management System SaaS with NEC Software Solutions UK Limited, aimed at facilitating the issuance and management of disabled Blue Badges. The tender, classified under the Software package and information systems industry category, utilises a direct award procurement method. The procurement, valued at £22,800, covers a contract period from 1st January 2026 to 31st December 2027. The designated location for this project is the South West region of the United Kingdom, and the award phase was finalised on 14th September 2025. This procurement process aligns with the planning, tender, and award stages, ensuring the successful delivery of the necessary software system.

This tender represents an excellent opportunity for software solution providers, particularly those with expertise in designing and implementing case management systems for public sector entities. While the direct award process might limit competition in this specific instance, similar future opportunities may arise for businesses skilled in public sector compliance and document management solutions. Although this contract was not specifically targeted at SMEs or VCSEs, larger organisations in the software industry should watch for similar tenders to engage with local councils and expand their market presence in government-led digital transformation projects.
