Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the City of Wakefield procured an online adults’ social care procedures service. The requirement is an external secure website housing adults’ social care policies, procedures and practice toolkits, providing online access to operational guidance and supporting materials. This is a specialist digital information and IT support service, with classifications covering IT services, software development, internet services and support, alongside office and computing equipment and supplies. The service is for Wakefield Council and is delivered in the United Kingdom. It is relevant to suppliers that provide secure hosted websites, online policy and procedure platforms, social care information systems, or managed digital services for public-sector users. The requirement covers one complete service lot.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold procedure. SIGNIS LIMITED was selected as the supplier on 1 September 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and is active for the period from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its gross value is £11,880, including applicable taxes. The award covers the full requirement as a single lot. The published procurement information does not set out a separate award scoring basis or a detailed submission procedure. The contract is below the applicable threshold. This outcome shows that Wakefield Council has committed to a defined, one-year service for secure online adults’ social care procedures and practice toolkits, supplied by a named specialist provider.

This procurement is commercially relevant to suppliers with a secure, reliable online platform for storing and presenting adults’ social care policies, procedures and practice toolkits. Credible competitors would need to demonstrate strong information security, hosted website management, dependable availability, user access controls and practical support for council staff. Experience of organising complex professional guidance into an accessible digital service would be valuable, as would familiarity with adults’ social care practice and public-sector information requirements. The award to an SME indicates that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist provider rather than only by a large systems integrator. Suppliers offering comparable policy-and-procedure platforms can use this contract as evidence of demand for this type of service from Wakefield Council and a benchmark for future competition.
