UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority procured the Joy Case Management System, a software and information systems service supported by IT consulting, software development, internet and technical support. The system is intended to support the authority’s Youth Guarantee Trailblazer programme, whose business case received approval and whose related Department for Work and Pensions proposal was subsequently approved. Delivery is associated with Cambridgeshire. The buying organisation is the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority, a sub-central public authority. The requirement is a single service covering the Joy case management platform and related information technology support, rather than physical goods or construction works. It is relevant to suppliers of case management software, digital service platforms, implementation support and associated IT consultancy serving public-sector programmes.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. The contract was awarded to PUNGO LTD (Joy), and the contract is active. The authority used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award was made on 17 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 17 August 2026 to 11 August 2027, with a maximum extent to 11 August 2028 through a stated 12-month extension. The awarded contract value is £115,200 gross in GBP. The tender comprised one completed lot. The evaluation basis was therefore the direct-award route rather than a competitive scoring exercise. The contracting process relates to software and IT services for the Joy Case Management System.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it demonstrates demand from Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority for a dedicated case management system supporting a youth employment or guarantee programme. Suppliers considering future work with this buyer would need a credible software platform for managing cases, records and programme activity, together with the technical capability to provide implementation, software development, internet-based services and ongoing support. Experience delivering reliable digital systems for public-sector or grant-funded programmes would be commercially relevant, as would the ability to work within a direct-award, below-threshold procurement environment. Competitors should be able to show that their service can support operational users, integrate into programme delivery and remain maintainable throughout the initial contract and any extension.
