Summary of the contracting process

Herefordshire Council procured an electronic document and records management system (EDRMS), together with associated software licences, support and hosting. The requirement is primarily a software and information-systems supply, intended to provide the council with managed digital document and records capability. Service delivery is in Herefordshire. Hoople Ltd provided general procurement support to the council as procuring entity, while Herefordshire Council is the buying organisation responsible for the requirement. The procurement covered one lot. The arrangement is relevant to suppliers of electronic records and document management platforms, hosted software, licensing models and ongoing technical support. It may also suit providers able to combine system provision with managed hosting and continuing service support for a public authority.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off under the GCA Technology Services 4 framework, without reopening competition. The award decision was made on 16 June 2026 to Wavenet Limited. The contract was signed on 13 August 2026 and runs from 13 August 2026 to 30 June 2028. One optional extension of up to 12 months is available, with a maximum end date of 30 June 2029. The awarded value is £211,133.20 excluding VAT, or £253,359.84 including VAT. The contract is active and the tender value was above the relevant threshold. The requirement was evaluated as a framework award rather than through a new competitive tender.

This award demonstrates established demand from Herefordshire Council for an electronic document and records management platform supported by licences, hosting and ongoing technical assistance. A credible future supplier would need to provide a robust software product for managing public-sector documents and records, together with dependable hosted service delivery and responsive support. The requirement also favours businesses experienced in supplying integrated technology services through public-sector frameworks, particularly those able to meet framework call-off requirements without relying on a new open competition. Larger technology providers may be well placed, as the selected supplier is a large business. Firms with a proven record of delivering EDRMS implementations, licence management, hosting and long-term service continuity should monitor this buyer’s continuing need.
