Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council procured legal case management and time-recording software, together with associated services. The requirement covers industry-specific business software and related information systems, including document, productivity, database, communications and server-related functionality. The system and services are intended to support the council’s legal casework and recording of time. Delivery is for the East Midlands, with the buying organisation based in Derby. This is a services procurement and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier, Iken Business Limited, is also recorded as an SME. Businesses relevant to this requirement include providers of legal practice or public-sector case management systems, time-recording tools, software integration and implementation support.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 18 June 2026. It used a selective call-off from the G-Cloud 14 Framework, rather than a standalone open tender. The tender submission deadline was 17 June 2026 at 23:59. The estimated procurement value was £336,184, with a minimum estimated value of £146,600. The contract was awarded to Iken Business Limited for £146,600. The contract period runs from 19 June 2026 to 18 June 2029. The published information describes the requirement and framework call-off route but does not set out separate award criteria or weightings. There was one requirement covering the software and associated services for Derby City Council’s legal function.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Derby City Council for a legal case management and time-recording platform, delivered through the G-Cloud framework and at SME-accessible scale. Suppliers competing for a future requirement of this kind would need a functioning legal case management product that can record matters and staff time, manage documents and support legal-team workflows. Credible providers would also need to show they can supply the associated services needed to configure, implement, integrate, maintain and support the system for a public-sector customer. Experience delivering software and information systems to councils or other legal departments would strengthen a supplier’s position, particularly where it can evidence reliable databases, productivity features, secure operational support and a practical understanding of public-sector procurement through framework call-offs.
