Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wolverhampton City Council procured a public issue reporting application, an information technology service intended to support the handling of public reports. The requirement covers the application itself rather than wider IT services, and delivery is associated with Wolverhampton. The council is the public-sector buyer. The procurement was arranged as a call-off from the Government Commercial Agency’s G Cloud 14 framework, so the relevant market is suppliers able to provide a suitable hosted or managed public issue reporting solution through that framework route. The requirement may suit providers of civic technology, customer contact platforms, case-management systems or related digital services, particularly where their products help councils receive, manage and track reports from residents and public bodies.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Blackburn IT Services (trading as bbits). The council used a direct award call-off under G Cloud 14, through a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition notice. The award is active and the contract was signed on 14 July 2026. The contract value is £76,410. Price was the stated award criterion. One bid was recorded for the requirement. The procurement was presented as a single lot, although that lot is recorded as cancelled while the related award remains active. The contract is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The published outcome therefore records a selected supplier and a signed contract rather than an opportunity for further bids.

This award provides a clear benchmark for suppliers targeting Wolverhampton City Council’s civic-technology requirements. A credible competitor would need a public issue reporting application that can support council workflows for receiving, routing, tracking and resolving reports, with a practical user experience for residents and council staff. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that delivery at this scale was not limited to a large systems integrator. Relevant strengths include an established software product, reliable implementation and support capability, public-sector or local-government experience, and the ability to supply through the G Cloud 14 framework. Because price was the stated evaluation basis, suppliers would also need a competitive commercial model alongside demonstrable technical suitability.
