Summary of the contracting process

The Devon County Council has cancelled the procurement process for the "CP2241-22a Integrated Adult Social Care (ASC) Case Management and Finance System". The tender was unsuccessful due to limited responses received. The council cited tough financial challenges and the need to re-evaluate service requirements. The procurement aimed to select a supplier to provide IT services for adult social care using an open procedure.

Despite the cancellation of the current tender, opportunities for business growth may arise when similar tenders are released in the future by Devon County Council. Businesses experienced in providing mature SaaS solutions for adult social care services could be well-suited to compete in future procurements. The competitive selection process would focus on quality (85%) and price (15%) criteria to deliver the required ICT system for improved service delivery.

Notice Title

CP2241-22a Integrated Adult Social Care (ASC) Case Management and Finance System

Notice Description

The reason for the non award details are below: This is a time of significant change for local government as a whole. Despite the government increasing funding for councils over recent years, a combination of high inflation and rising demand has left local authorities facing some of their toughest budgetary decisions to date and has meant that there is a stronger focus on ensuring risks are managed effectively. In particular, the Council continues to face tough financial challenges as was recently reported on our website: Devon County Council's budget in the black despite unprecedented financial pressures - News Unfortunately, we had a limited response to the invitation to tender. Given the current financial climate, the one council approach, the ever changing needs of our services and our ability to be flexible and have future proofed systems we have taken the difficult decision to abandon the procurement and re-evaluate the service needs and requirements at this time.
