Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council procured social care systems: software and information systems to support social care. The service is for the council, with delivery in the East Midlands. The procurement is described as a direct call-off from a Crown Commercial Service framework. The available description identifies the requirement as social care systems but does not set out specific modules, user groups or implementation tasks. The work is categorised as services, centred on supplying social care software rather than construction or physical goods. This provides a clear fit for suppliers of social care platforms and related systems, particularly those serving local authorities. The published scope does not identify other delivery locations or additional service lines.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Liquidlogic Ltd. Derby City Council made the award on 31 March 2024, at a value of £1,550,000. The contract period runs from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2029, with an option to extend for two further periods of 12 months each. The stated overall estimated procurement value was £2,316,995.75, with a minimum value of £1,550,000. The route was a direct call-off under the Crown Commercial Service framework. The contract was presented as a single social care systems requirement, with no stated lot structure. The published information does not describe evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

This award demonstrates Derby City Council’s demand for social care systems through a framework call-off, rather than a standalone open competition. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need an established social care software platform suited to local-authority use, together with the capability to supply and support it over a substantial contract term. The selected supplier is a large software provider, and the procurement was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises; businesses should therefore assess whether they have the scale and delivery capacity to compete for an equivalent council-wide requirement. The award gives a concrete reference point for the type of system and purchasing route Derby uses, but the published scope does not identify particular technical functions, integrations, accreditations or service-level commitments.
