Summary of the contracting process

Wirral Borough Council procured iCasework governance, legal and debt software, classified as IT services (CPV 72000000). The requirement is for software supporting the council’s governance, legal and debt functions. The procurement was awarded through the GCA Back Office Solutions arrangement, RM6285. Delivery is stated for England; the council is based in Birkenhead, Wirral.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Civica UK Limited on 7 October 2026. The award value is £130,923. The contract period runs from 14 November 2026 to 13 November 2028. The tender deadline was 3 October 2026 at 12:00. The process records an award through GCA Back Office Solutions RM6285; the procurement method is described only as “Other”. No separate lots are identified. The stated suitability assessment marks the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No award criteria or evaluation basis are recorded.

For suppliers of case-management software, this award shows Wirral Borough Council’s demand for a single iCasework system serving governance, legal and debt functions, acquired through the GCA Back Office Solutions route. A credible competitor when this requirement next reaches market would need to demonstrate software that can support all three functional areas, together with the implementation and support capability needed to provide it to a local authority. The council’s assessment excluded SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, while the selected supplier, Civica UK Limited, is a large business. Suppliers should therefore consider whether they can meet the scale and breadth of the requirement and compete through the relevant purchasing arrangement. The procurement concerns this defined council requirement, rather than general IT services.」} Annotations? Wait no. Ensure continuous prose each 100-150 words.
