Summary of the contracting process

Durham County Council procured support for adult social care financial assessments through the Civica OnDemand service. The requirement is classified as industry-specific software and falls within the goods category, covering the provision of software-enabled financial assessment support rather than general consultancy or unrelated IT services. Delivery is for the North East of England, supporting the council’s local adult social care functions. The selected provider is Civica UK Limited, whose service is specifically named in the requirement. Businesses operating in social care technology, public-sector financial assessment systems or specialist software services can therefore judge this as relevant where they provide comparable tools and support for council-led adult social care assessments.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from the G-Cloud 14 framework. Durham County Council awarded the contract to Civica UK Limited on 22 July 2026. The awarded value is £10,000 including the stated GBP currency. The contract runs from 10 August 2026 to 9 October 2026. The tender’s estimated value was also £10,000. The requirement was treated as a framework call-off rather than an open standalone competition, with the tender submission deadline recorded as 22 July 2026. This was a single requirement for financial assessment software support, and the award is active for the stated contract period.

For a supplier assessing future demand, this award shows Durham County Council’s need for short-term, specialist support for adult social care financial assessments delivered through an established cloud software route. A credible competitor would need a proven financial assessment platform or closely comparable capability, an understanding of adult social care charging and assessment processes, and the ability to support council users with reliable implementation and service delivery. Experience of supplying public bodies through a government framework would be commercially important, particularly where the buying route is a framework call-off. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, although the selected provider is a large software company.
