Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire County Council procured an e-visit software service delivered as software as a service (SaaS). The requirement falls within software-related services and is intended to provide the council with an e-visit software solution rather than goods, construction or standalone consultancy. The buying organisation is Gloucestershire County Council, based in Gloucester. The stated delivery location is the United Kingdom. The procurement covered one service requirement, with the same SaaS description applying across the requirement. This is relevant to software vendors, SaaS providers and technology businesses able to supply and support an e-visit platform for a public-sector customer. It may also suit businesses providing configurable or managed software services where the main deliverable is access to and operation of an online application.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective restricted procedure. Quality Education Solutions Ltd was selected as the supplier for the single service requirement. The award is active, and the related contract is also active. The contract was signed on 1 August 2026 and has a value of £14,997. The estimated tender and lot value was £15,000. The contract period was set at 360 days, with no renewal or additional purchasing options. Bids were evaluated on price. Written submissions were required in English, variants were not allowed, and a fee applied for access to the procurement documents. One bid was recorded for the requirement. The tender’s stated submission deadline was 20 August 2026.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Gloucestershire County Council for an e-visit SaaS solution delivered as a software-related service. A competing supplier would need a credible, supportable software platform, the operational capacity to provide it to a public-sector customer, and the ability to maintain service over the required delivery period. The procurement was decided on price, so a future competitor would need clear cost control and a commercially competitive offer, while still demonstrating that its service can meet the council’s practical requirements. Suppliers familiar with written English tender responses and public-sector procurement routes would be well placed to compete. The successful provider was a large organisation, indicating that delivery capacity and confidence in sustaining the service may be important when this buyer next considers the same requirement.
