Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Lincolnshire Council procured Booknow Software through the PS Framework. The requirement is for a software package supporting information systems, classified under CPV 48000000, and is categorised as goods rather than a service or works contract. The named buying organisation is North Lincolnshire Council, based at Church Square House in Scunthorpe. The procurement relates to lot 1, described as a direct award through the PS Framework. The awarded supplier, Phoenix Software Limited, is based in York and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The requirement is therefore relevant to software providers able to supply Booknow Software or comparable information-system products to a local authority through an established public-sector framework.

The procurement is complete and has reached the award stage. Phoenix Software Limited received the active award for lot 1, with one bid recorded for that lot. The route was a limited procedure using an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition; the stated rationale was a direct award through the PS Framework. Evaluation was based on price. The contract is active and was signed on 21 August 2026. Its value is £66,666.67. The underlying tender record describes lot 1 as cancelled, but the published award and contract are active, so the outcome is an award to Phoenix Software Limited rather than a cancelled procurement. No award date is recorded.

This outcome identifies a defined local-authority demand for Booknow Software procured through a public-sector framework, with a contract value in the tens of thousands of pounds and a small or medium-sized supplier selected. Competitors assessing a future requirement from North Lincolnshire Council would need to provide software packages or information systems suited to council use, participate through the relevant PS Framework route, and compete effectively on price. The result also shows that a specialist SME can win this type of public-sector software contract. Suppliers with a demonstrable Booknow Software offering, comparable information-system products, framework eligibility and the operational capacity to support a council customer would be best placed to assess similar demand when it returns.
