Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dundee City Council procured a flexible workforce management software system to support its staffing needs. The requirement was for the supply of the system, rather than a general software package or information-systems project. The system is for use in Dundee. The council is the buyer, and the process covered a single requirement for the council. The selected supplier, Teacher Booker, is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The procurement was arranged through the Crown Commercial Service framework for supply teachers and temporary staffing, which the council was entitled to use. The stated purpose and scope centre on providing Dundee City Council with software for managing a flexible workforce.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Teacher Booker. The council used a direct award through the Crown Commercial Service’s Supply Teachers and Temporary Staffing framework, without publishing a separate competition notice; the framework terms permitted direct awards. The recorded contract value is £90,000. The contract was signed on 25 September 2025; no contract end date or duration is stated. The award is active. The procurement had one lot, but its status is recorded as cancelled despite the active award and contract. Price was the stated award criterion. One bid was recorded, from an SME. The lot allowed an optional one-year extension, described as running up to 29 October 2029.

For suppliers of workforce management software, this award shows that Dundee City Council has purchased a system for managing a flexible workforce through a staffing framework. A future competitor would need to provide software suited to the council’s workforce-management requirement and be capable of supplying through the relevant Crown Commercial Service framework route, including meeting its direct-award terms. The procurement attracted one bid, from an SME, demonstrating that a smaller supplier competed successfully. Price was the stated basis for the award, so a credible competitor would need to offer a competitive commercial proposition as well as a system that meets the council’s needs. The recorded optional extension indicates the arrangement could cover a longer period, making delivery and support capability over the contract term relevant.
