Summary of the contracting process

Bassetlaw District Council procured a mobile canvasser application and the devices needed to use it. This is a software and information-systems requirement, with associated hardware, classified under CPV 48000000. Delivery and use are in the East Midlands, supporting the council’s canvassing activity. The buyer is Bassetlaw District Council, based in Worksop, Nottinghamshire. The procurement is categorised as goods, although suppliers would need to provide an integrated technology solution rather than a standalone physical product. The requirement is relevant to software companies, civic technology providers, mobile application developers, and suppliers able to source, configure and support compatible devices for public-sector users. The recorded procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. Bassetlaw District Council used a limited competitive quotation procedure below the public procurement threshold. The quotation deadline was 14 July 2024 at 23:59. The contract was awarded on 15 July 2024 to CIVICA UK LTD for £62,677.62 including the stated contract value. The contract period runs from 15 July 2024 to 15 September 2027. The tender’s estimated value range was £52,231.35 minimum to £62,677.62 maximum. CIVICA UK LTD is the recorded successful supplier, and the award remains active. The opportunity covered one requirement for a mobile canvasser app and devices, rather than separate lots. The published outcome therefore shows a single supplier and a single awarded value for the council’s canvassing technology requirement.

This award indicates demand from Bassetlaw District Council for a complete mobile canvassing technology solution: an application paired with suitable user devices. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical experience delivering mobile software for operational staff, supplying or configuring the associated hardware, and integrating the two into a dependable service. Public-sector delivery capability would also matter, including secure handling of council information, straightforward deployment, user support, maintenance and the ability to manage a multi-year service relationship. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate that their product works reliably outside a desk-based environment and can support consistent canvassing workflows. The procurement’s stated suitability for SMEs and VCSEs indicates that smaller specialist software, mobile technology and device-management businesses may be capable of competing, either independently or through a delivery partnership.
