Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham City Council procured a leisure management system: software and related information systems to support the council’s leisure service operations. The requirement is classified as services and is delivered in Birmingham and the wider West Midlands. The buying organisation is Birmingham City Council, based at the Council House in Birmingham. The selected solution is intended for public-sector leisure management rather than general-purpose software supply, so relevant businesses are providers of leisure management platforms, information systems, implementation services or associated support. The procurement was made through the Government Commercial Agency’s G-Cloud 14 framework, indicating a framework-based public-sector technology purchase for the council’s leisure activities.

This procurement is complete and was awarded to Gladstone MRM Limited on 16 March 2026. The award value is £87,413. The contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender submission deadline was 2 March 2026 at 12:00 UTC. Birmingham City Council used a selective procedure through a call-off from a framework agreement, specifically the G-Cloud 14 framework. The published information identifies services as the main category and records the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. There were no lots reported, and the available procurement information does not set out separate quality, price or other evaluation weightings.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates Birmingham City Council’s demand for a specialist leisure management system delivered through a public-sector technology framework. Businesses best placed for a future requirement of this kind would combine a proven leisure management platform with experience supporting council or other public leisure services. Credibility would come from demonstrating reliable information systems, practical implementation and transition support, and the ability to operate within a framework call-off process. Providers should also be able to show that their software can support the operational needs of leisure services at council scale, with clear service management and ongoing assistance. The recorded suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that smaller specialist providers may be relevant competitors.
