Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Digital 360," managed by Bassetlaw District Council, aimed to acquire document management software with compliance to the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) standards. The process was classified under the industry category of services, specifically focusing on document management software development services. It was conducted as an award without prior publication of a call for competition, through the VAS framework RM6259, under a limited procurement method. The main contractual agreement was finalised with Civica UK Limited for a value of £181,906. The location impacted by this procurement is the UKF1 region, with the contract formally signed on 9th July 2026. Furthermore, this process was subject to the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) and was facilitated outside the directive’s usual scope, justifying the absence of a competitive call.

This procurement may create significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in document management solutions and those with experience in meeting GDPR and other compliance requirements. While Civica UK Limited was the successful supplier, the tender opens pathways for similar businesses to explore partnerships or develop complementary software solutions that might integrate with public sector requirements. Companies with robust software development capabilities and the ability to deliver cost-effective, value-for-money (VFM) solutions would be well-suited to compete in such highly focused government contracts.
