Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Barnet procured cloud-based library management software through the G-Cloud 14 framework. The framework’s hosting services cover cloud platforms or infrastructure that enable buyers to deploy, manage and run software, and use processing, storage or networking resources. This is a services contract for software and its cloud hosting, rather than a purchase of physical equipment or construction work. Barnet is the buyer. The procurement lists delivery across the United Kingdom and a range of overseas locations, including Europe, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Education Software Solutions Ltd. Barnet used an open procedure through the G-Cloud 14 framework. The award was made on 30 September 2026, for £140,000. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028. The tender deadline was 30 September 2026. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No lot-level awards are recorded.

For suppliers that did not win, the award demonstrates Barnet’s demand for library management software delivered through a cloud hosting framework. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to provide library management software and cloud hosting capable of supporting deployment, operation and management of software, with access to processing, storage or networking resources. The selected supplier is identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that a supplier of that scale secured the contract. The procurement gives relevant software businesses and cloud service providers a concrete example of Barnet buying these services through G-Cloud.
