Summary of the contracting process

Burnley Borough Council procured a committee management system comprising committee meeting management software, annual support and maintenance, a restricted application and cloud hosting. This is a software supply and support service for managing the council’s committee-related activity. The requirement was delivered for Burnley Borough Council in the United Kingdom. It was awarded through the RM6259 Vertical Application Solutions framework, which covers vertical software applications and associated services. The procurement is categorised as services, including software package and information systems, software supply services and software support services. The requirement concerns an ongoing managed software arrangement rather than construction, physical goods or general information technology consultancy. Suppliers operating in public-sector committee, governance or meeting-management software are the closest fit for this requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 23 June 2026 to CIVICA UK LIMITED. The award was made directly under the RM6259 Vertical Application Solutions framework, using a below-threshold procedure without competition. The single lot was completed. The award and contract value is £33,603.75 excluding VAT, or £40,324.50 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The contract was signed on 23 June 2026 and is active. Evaluation was not competitive: the buyer used a direct award under the framework rather than inviting competing tenders. The selected supplier is Civica UK Limited, a large software and services company. This outcome records the council’s chosen supplier and the commercial scale of the arrangement.

This award indicates established demand from Burnley Borough Council for specialist committee-management software delivered as a supported cloud service. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a proven committee meeting-management platform, secure access controls for restricted applications, reliable cloud hosting and the ability to provide annual support and maintenance. Experience supplying software to councils or other public-sector organisations would help demonstrate understanding of governance workflows, committee administration and operational support expectations. Suppliers should also be able to work through a public-sector framework route and deliver a packaged service rather than only standalone software development. The requirement is suited to established software providers, framework suppliers and specialist firms that can combine product capability, hosting, implementation support and dependable ongoing service management.
