Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dundee City Council procured pupil journaling software for use in Dundee schools. The requirement was for an educational software package and its provision to schools; the published scope does not describe additional functions or services. This is a council-led purchase for school use, with delivery in Dundee. The procurement concerns software rather than works or physical goods, and is relevant to suppliers able to provide pupil journaling platforms for school settings.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Softcat, with the contract signed on 30 March 2026. The contract value is £121,381.05. The requirement was arranged as a single lot and evaluated on price. Dundee City Council made a direct award through the NHS Shared Business Services Digital Workplace Solutions 2 framework, which allows the council to award contracts under its terms without a separate competition. One bid was recorded. The supplied data gives no contract period or award date; the date shown here is the contract signature date.

This award demonstrates demand from Dundee City Council for pupil journaling software for its schools, purchased through the NHS Shared Business Services Digital Workplace Solutions 2 framework. A supplier seeking to compete for the same requirement in future would need to provide a suitable educational software package and be positioned to supply the council through an eligible route, including access to the relevant framework if its terms and the buyer's approach remain applicable. Price was the stated basis for evaluation, so credible suppliers would need a competitive cost for a school-ready journaling solution. The award establishes that this buyer selected a supplier for a single software requirement, rather than a wider programme of school technology services.
