Summary of the contracting process

Somerset County Council has recently awarded a contract for the "LCS Children's case management system," a project classified under the software package and information systems category. The award was made following a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from an existing framework agreement. The contract, valued at £400,000, will be in effect from 1st April 2020 until 31st October 2023. The tender process concluded on 31st March 2020, and the official notice of the award was published on 7th October 2020, confirming the engagement of Liquid Logic Ltd as the awarded supplier.

This opportunity represents a significant growth area for businesses involved in software development and case management solutions.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this a viable opportunity, given the suitability criteria indicated, while larger firms also stand to benefit from similar future contracts.
