Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, titled "Room Booking System," involves the acquisition of a room booking system known as Eptura Engage, previously Condeco. Organised by Westmorland and Furness Council, the contract falls under the "Software package and information systems" category, with services to be delivered in the North West of England, United Kingdom. This Award stage contract was completed, with the award published on 19 March 2026, following initial tendering activities that concluded on 26 June 2025. The contract is valued at £165,732 and runs from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2028. The framework utilised a selective procurement method with a call-off from a framework agreement, aimed at attracting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs). The buying organisation is located in Kendal, England.

This tender can foster business growth by providing opportunities to suppliers in the software services sector to deliver digital solutions at a local government level. Businesses specialising in software package development and information systems, particularly those tagged as SMEs and VCSEs, are well-suited to compete in such tender processes. With the award granted to Softcat PLC, an SME, this demonstrates a favourable procurement environment for smaller enterprises seeking to expand their public sector portfolio and future resale capabilities within government frameworks.
