Summary of the contracting process

Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council procured site search and analytics services to support its website. The requirement is software-based, covering site search and analytics rather than general IT consultancy or a wider software package. The service is for the council in Rotherham, England. The procurement was made as a cloud software call-off under the G-Cloud framework. This identifies the buyer and the purchasing route for suppliers assessing whether their product and delivery model match the requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Cludo UK Ltd. The council used a selective call-off from the G-Cloud framework, under its cloud software category. The award was made on 10 September 2026, at a value of £34,000. The contract runs from 12 September 2026 to 11 September 2030, reflecting a 36-month term with an optional 12-month extension. The original tender deadline was 9 September 2026 at 5pm. The recorded evaluation basis is not stated in the procurement details.

This award shows that Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council buys dedicated site search and analytics as cloud software through a framework call-off, rather than through a broad bespoke IT services contract. Suppliers competing for a comparable future requirement would need a cloud product suited to website search and analytics, with the ability to deliver and support it for a multi-year council contract. The selected supplier was an SME, demonstrating that this type of requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist provider. The stated framework route is commercially relevant: suppliers should be positioned to offer through the relevant cloud software framework category and demonstrate that their search and analytics capability meets the council’s practical website needs.
