Summary of the contracting process

Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council procured a compliance and policy management software system called Quality Care System. The requirement is for compliance software to support the council’s care-related compliance and policy management activities. The buying organisation is Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council, based in Oldbury, and delivery is in the Sandwell area of the West Midlands. This is a software supply opportunity rather than construction, consultancy or operational care provision. The requirement may suit software providers specialising in compliance management, policy control, auditability and related public-sector governance tools. The selected system is supplied by Quality Compliance Systems Ltd, whose business is based in Richmond and is classified as a small or medium-sized enterprise.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Quality Compliance Systems Ltd. It used a below-threshold direct award without competition. The contract was signed on 23 July 2026 and awarded on 26 July 2026. The initial contract runs from 26 July 2026 to 25 July 2027. Its value is £34,182 excluding VAT, or £41,018.40 including VAT. Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council may extend the initial 12-month term by a further two years, subject to approval, with the maximum end date of 25 July 2029. There was one completed lot, covering the compliance software requirement. The award is active and the contract is active.

This procurement shows Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council’s demand for a dedicated compliance and policy management software system, delivered at small-to-medium public-sector contract scale. A credible future competitor would need a functioning software product that supports compliance management and policy administration, with a clear fit for council governance and care-related requirements. Evidence of dependable implementation, secure and accessible software operation, policy control, audit trails and ongoing customer support would help demonstrate suitability, provided these features meet the buyer’s specification. Suppliers should also be able to manage a council customer throughout an initial annual service period and any approved longer-term extension. The award to an SME indicates that this requirement can be served by a focused specialist rather than only by a large technology integrator.
