Summary of the contracting process

Crown Commercial Service’s RM6259 framework covers specialist software for public-sector services. The relevant requirement is Liquidlogic education and social care applications for children and families, including software supply and the supporting work needed to identify, design, develop, implement and integrate a solution. Scope also encompasses data take-on and migration, security, user training, maintenance and support. The wider framework groups solutions for education, community health and social care, alongside business applications, housing and planning, citizen services and emergency services software. It is intended for central government and other UK public bodies, including local authorities. Delivery is across the UK. This is a software and related IT services requirement, rather than a purchase of general-purpose computing equipment.

The framework procurement is complete and has produced multiple awards. For the children and families application support requirement, London Borough of Barnet selected Liquidlogic Limited through the Crown Commercial Service framework; the contract was signed on 30 September 2026, is active and is valued at £1,042,760. Other reported framework awards include Civica and Idox, with individual contract values ranging from £180,386.97 to £3,370,008, as well as a separate £1.84 billion contract entry whose supplier is not identified by name. The framework competition used an open procedure. For the education, community health and social care lot, evaluation weighting was 82% quality and 18% price. The framework description gives a five-year contract with an option to extend for two years; the underlying competition closed on 21 September 2022.

The award shows that local authorities use this framework to procure specialist children and families systems and continuing application support. A credible competitor would need a product designed for education or social care workflows, and the ability to support solution design, implementation, data migration, integration and security as well as ongoing maintenance and user support. Suppliers should be ready to demonstrate service quality clearly: the stated lot evaluation placed substantially more weight on quality than price. The framework is designed for public-sector use across the UK, so suppliers need the capacity to serve public bodies and deliver the full lifecycle of a specialist application, not simply licence software. The selection and award history also shows that both specialist providers and larger software suppliers have competed for work under this route.
