Summary of the contracting process

The Brighton & Hove City Council completed a direct award process for the BHCC Legal Case Management System under a services procurement category.

The awarded contract to Civica UK Ltd. is valued at £241,540 and was signed on 20th March 2023.

The procurement method was a limited award procedure without prior publication, indicating potential for direct award opportunities under similar frameworks in the future.
