Summary of the contracting process

Walsall Metropolitan Borough Council procured a Committee Management Information System (CMIS), classified as software and information systems. The requirement is for a web-based platform managed by Democratic Services. It enables the council to create and maintain committee agendas, minutes and other governance documents in a system accessible to the public, while providing secure storage for confidential records. The work is for the council’s operations in Walsall, at the Civic Centre on Darwall Street. This is a software supply requirement rather than construction or a general professional service, and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 23 February 2026 to ASTECH CONSULTANTS LIMITED. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 13 January 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The awarded value was £11,600. The awarded contract period runs from 1 May 2026 to 30 April 2028. The wider tender had an estimated value of £13,920, with a stated contract period from 1 May 2026 to 30 April 2027. The award is active, and the selected supplier is an SME. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off process.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for committee-management software within local government, combining public-facing publication with controlled handling of confidential governance records. Relevant competitors would need to provide or implement a reliable web-based system for Democratic Services, with practical tools for preparing and maintaining agendas, minutes and related documents. They would also need to demonstrate appropriate access controls and secure storage for sensitive records, alongside a public interface that supports straightforward access to published material. Experience supplying councils or other public-sector governance teams would strengthen credibility, as would the ability to support users, manage document workflows and operate effectively through a framework call-off route.
