Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Halton Borough Council procured access to PAMMS, a digital platform for social care commissioners, together with an update to Provider Manager. The system combines and standardises data from multiple sources across social care, then provides data analysis, predictive solutions and interactive dashboards to support commissioners’ duty of care and evidence-based decisions. The requirement is software and information systems (CPV 48000000). Delivery is associated with the Widnes area. The platform’s purpose is to help commissioners use consistent data and forward-looking analysis in their social care work.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Access UK Limited. The council used a limited direct award through the G-Cloud 14 framework, without a prior competition; one bid was recorded. The stated award criterion was price. The contract value is £58,323. It was signed on 25 September 2026. The contract is recorded as active, but no contract period or award date is provided. The procurement was structured as one lot, which is recorded as cancelled, while the award itself is active. The stated basis for the direct award was that the procurement fell outside the scope of the relevant directive; the council identified G-Cloud 14 and a service ID as its route to award.

For software suppliers serving local authority social care, this award shows demand for an integrated data platform that can standardise information from varied sources, support analysis and prediction, and present results through interactive dashboards. A credible competitor would need a working solution tailored to commissioners’ duty-of-care responsibilities and capable of supporting evidence-based decisions, alongside the ability to update provider-management software. The route used here was a direct award through the G-Cloud 14 framework, so suppliers seeking similar council work would need an appropriate framework route as well as relevant product capability. Access UK Limited was selected, and one bid was recorded; the stated evaluation criterion was price. This indicates that price was the specified basis of evaluation for this award, alongside the requirement for a social-care-focused digital ecosystem.
