UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Combined Authority procured a job description management platform to support the creation of job families. The requirement is for software and information systems, covering a digital tool that helps the authority organise and develop job descriptions and related job-family structures. The buying organisation is West Midlands Combined Authority, based in Birmingham. Delivery is in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. The contract is categorised as goods because the main purchase is a software platform rather than consultancy, construction or a standalone professional service. The selected supplier, Role Mapper Technologies Limited, is based in Exeter and provides the technology for the authority’s job-family management requirement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded under a single lot. West Midlands Combined Authority used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Role Mapper Technologies Limited was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 3 September 2026 and runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £63,100 excluding VAT, or £75,720 including VAT. The contract is active. The published outcome identifies the requirement as software and information systems supporting job-family creation. The process was evaluated through a non-competitive below-threshold route, so no comparative tender evaluation or scored award criteria are recorded for this procurement.

This award is relevant to software providers specialising in job architecture, job description management and the creation of structured job families for public-sector employers. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a platform that can support the systematic creation, organisation and management of job descriptions and job-family frameworks, rather than a generic document repository alone. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that delivery at this scale was suitable for a focused specialist technology business. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate a practical product, implementation capability and an understanding of how workforce roles and job families are structured within a large public authority. Experience supporting organisational workforce or human-resources processes would strengthen their position.
