Summary of the contracting process

Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council procured a music service management information system for Solihull Music Service. The requirement is specialist software and information systems to support the service’s administration and management. Delivery is for the council in Solihull, within the United Kingdom. The procurement was structured as one lot and covered the complete requirement rather than separate service elements. It is relevant to suppliers providing education, music-service or public-sector management software, particularly systems that support the operational information needs of a local authority music service. The selected supplier, SpeedAdmin ApS, is a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Sønderborg, Denmark. The buyer is Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council, a sub-central public authority.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, for one lot. SpeedAdmin ApS was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 31 March 2025 and runs from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2029. Its value is £36,740 excluding VAT, or £44,088 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The contract is active and covers the music service management information system described in the procurement. The published procurement title is SOL Music Service MIS 2025. No separate award date is recorded, but the supplier and awarded contract value are identified.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist management information software supporting a council music service, delivered at small-contract scale over a multi-year term. Suppliers considering future work with Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council would need a credible product for music-service administration and information management, together with the capacity to support a local authority customer throughout a sustained contract. Relevant evidence would include successful delivery of comparable software to music services, education providers or public-sector organisations, dependable implementation and ongoing support, and the ability to meet council information-management and service requirements. The existing award also shows that a focused specialist SME can serve this requirement, including an overseas supplier, through a below-threshold direct-award route.
