UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cumberland Council bought a software system to support its Targeted Careers Advice and Guidance service. The system manages student information and careers support. This is an IT software and support service, delivered in Cumbria.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Access Technology Group Limited. Cumberland Council made a direct award without competition through the YPO Software Application Solutions Framework. The contract was signed on 28 August 2026 and runs from 30 September 2026 to 29 September 2029, with no optional extensions. Its stated initial-term value is £79,964.64 excluding VAT. The procurement was not divided into competitive lots.

For suppliers assessing similar future requirements from Cumberland Council, this award shows demand for software that can support targeted careers advice and guidance while handling student information and careers support. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate a suitable system and the ability to provide the related software service. The council used a direct award through an existing framework rather than an open competition, so suppliers would need a route to supply through an applicable framework to compete in the same way.
