Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council procured the TotalMobile corporate mobile working toolkit, an integrated software platform for staff working remotely or in the field. The requirement was to renew the council’s existing platform and maintain continuity of mobile-working support for critical services across Housing, Environment, Education, and Health and Social Care. The council described the system as embedded in its operations and requiring ongoing maintenance. Delivery is for council services in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. The purchase is software and information systems (CPV 48000000).

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Totalmobile. The council used a limited award procedure without a prior call for competition, citing technical reasons: the requirement was continuation and maintenance of an existing embedded system, with no alternative supplier identified for the same system. Price was the stated award criterion. One lot is recorded, though its status is cancelled; the awards and contracts are recorded as active. Two active contracts were signed: one on 29 July 2026 for £1,226,000 and another on 16 September 2026 for £1,155,570.43. The contract description states a five-year term starting 1 April 2027. The data records one bid, including no SME bids.

This award demonstrates recurring council demand for a supported, integrated mobile-working platform serving operational teams across housing, environmental, education and health and social care functions. A credible competitor for a comparable future requirement would need to show that its platform can support mobile working across these services, scale consistently across council operations, and maintain continuity for critical services. The buyer’s stated justification makes integration with existing systems and the ability to sustain an established platform particularly relevant capabilities: the selected solution was already embedded, and technical continuity was the basis for proceeding without competition. Suppliers should also be prepared to evidence reliable ongoing support and maintenance, and to compete on price, the stated evaluation basis. The recorded competition attracted one bid, with none from an SME.
