Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured software, support and maintenance for its Liquidlogic children’s social care and education management systems. The requirement covers the continued operation of these systems and may include additional professional and technical services to support the council’s future needs. It is a software and information systems services contract, with delivery for Surrey County Council in the South East of England. The work is relevant to suppliers of public-sector social care and education software, particularly those able to provide ongoing application support, maintenance, technical consultancy and system-related professional services. The requirement is centred on Liquidlogic products and their use in children’s services and education management, rather than general-purpose IT services.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. Surrey County Council used a selective call-off from the YPO Software Application Solutions framework, Lot 12 for Health and Social Care Systems. The tender deadline was 16 December 2025 at 17:00. The award was made on 12 March 2026 to Liquid Logic Ltd for £1,018,017 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2029, with a three-year term and a potential one-year extension described in the requirement. The original estimated procurement value was £744,595, so the awarded value is higher than the estimate. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the service category was used for the procurement.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates sustained council demand for specialist children’s social care and education management systems, with a substantial requirement covering software continuity, support, maintenance and possible additional technical services. Credible competitors for a future requirement would need strong knowledge of Liquidlogic or comparable social care and education platforms, including implementation support, application management, maintenance, integration and technical problem-solving. Experience of working with local authorities and handling sensitive children’s services data would strengthen a bid. The route used here also shows the importance of access to a suitable public-sector software framework and the ability to compete through a framework call-off. Smaller specialist firms may be relevant where they can demonstrate sufficient service capacity, resilience and sector experience.
