Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leisure and Culture Dundee procured a digital health and safety recording software solution for use in Dundee. The requirement is for software to support the organisation’s recording of health and safety matters. The procurement is classified as goods, but the practical focus is a digital system rather than physical equipment. The solution was intended for Leisure and Culture Dundee; the stated delivery location is Dundee. The scope is described at a high level, with the requirement covering one software solution for the organisation.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Softcat. The award date was not provided; the contract was signed on 10 September 2026. The contract value is £153,000. The single lot is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active. The buyer used a direct award through the NHS Shared Business Services Digital Workplace Solutions 2 framework, without a separately published competition. Evaluation was on price. The framework permits the buyer to award contracts directly. The contract includes three optional extension periods, each lasting 12 months. One bid was recorded for the lot.

For suppliers aiming to compete for a similar requirement from Leisure and Culture Dundee, credibility rests on supplying a digital system that can support health and safety recording in an organisational setting. The buyer’s use of an established digital workplace solutions framework and a direct award shows that access to the relevant framework route can be commercially important, alongside the ability to offer competitive pricing. The requirement attracted one bid, and the successful supplier was a large business; this is evidence of an award to an established supplier, not a stated minimum size threshold. Software suppliers with relevant implementation and support capability for health and safety recording systems are the closest fit to this requirement.
