UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Rotherham Borough Council bought an online traded services system for schools and academies. The system provides a central portal through which these institutions can access council services, interact with the Council and place orders. It also supports charging, invoicing and income collection. The purchase is for software and information systems, with delivery in Rotherham. The requirement brings together service access and transactional functions in one system for the Council’s school and academy users.

The procurement is complete: Rotherham Borough Council selected FRONTLINE DATA LIMITED and signed an active contract. The award was made through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 28 September 2026 and runs from 30 September 2026 to 29 September 2027, with three 12-month renewal options and a maximum possible end date of 29 September 2030. The contract value is £103,128 including VAT. There was one lot, covering the online traded services system. The published information does not set out an evaluation basis or supplier eligibility requirements.

The award shows demand from Rotherham Borough Council for a digital platform that serves schools and academies while bringing together service access, customer interaction, ordering, charging, invoicing and income collection. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate an integrated system that can support these functions for institutional users and fit the Council’s service and financial processes. Experience supplying software and information systems for local authorities, schools or academies would be relevant, alongside the capacity to implement and support a centralised portal. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that this requirement was delivered by an SME; the scope does not on its own establish that a particular business size or accreditation is essential.
