Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council procured debt management solution software as a service. The requirement is for software supporting the council’s debt management activity; the procurement classifies the work as software and information systems. The listed delivery location is Barnsley, with the requirement also described as covering the United Kingdom and a range of other locations. This is a software-services purchase rather than a works contract or supply of physical equipment. The buyer is Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council, based in Barnsley, South Yorkshire.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to CIVICA UK LTD through a restricted procedure. The award was made on 19 December 2021, for £143,815. The contract period recorded for the award runs from 20 December 2021 to 19 December 2026; the tender’s overall contract-period entry instead gives an end date of 19 December 2028. The tender deadline was 19 December 2021. The process was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The procurement data does not set out separate lots or an evaluation formula, so the available outcome is the selected supplier and award value rather than a breakdown of scoring or competition.

This award demonstrates demand at Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council for a dedicated debt management software solution, delivered as a service. CIVICA UK LTD, a large supplier, was selected, providing a useful benchmark for the type of provider that has met this council’s requirement. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate that its software can support the council’s debt management operations and that it can deliver and sustain the service over a multi-year contract. The procurement was run through a restricted procedure, and small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to participate. Suppliers whose software and service capabilities align specifically with local-authority debt management are the closest fit; the award does not establish requirements for unrelated financial or general IT services.
