Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has bought a customer relationship management system for Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Prevent and Protect tool records information from safe and well visits, fire safety audits, operational audits, and visits to vulnerable children and adults. It supports the service in managing risk across the county and monitoring team performance. This is a software supply requirement rather than a general IT services contract. Delivery is for Surrey, covering the areas represented by Reigate and the wider county. The requirement concerns a system used in frontline prevention and protection work, where teams need to record visit and audit information and use it to oversee risks and performance.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Softcat plc. The contract was signed on 14 October 2026, with a contract period from 12 December 2026 to 11 December 2027. Its value is £81,893.24 excluding VAT, or £98,271.89 including VAT. The purchase was below the applicable threshold; the procurement route is recorded as below threshold, with the specific method not identified. There was one lot, covering the customer relationship management software. The published outcome identifies an active award and active contract. No evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements are described in the process details.

For suppliers assessing future demand from Surrey County Council, this award demonstrates a requirement for CRM software supporting Surrey Fire and Rescue’s prevention and protection activities. A credible competitor would need to supply a system that can capture and organise records from safe and well visits, fire safety and operational audits, and visits to vulnerable adults and children. The tool must support practical oversight of county-wide risk and team performance, so relevant experience with structured case or visit records, reporting and operational monitoring would be pertinent. The purchase was a single, below-threshold software contract awarded to a large supplier, indicating a contained requirement rather than a multi-lot programme. Suppliers should be able to deliver an appropriate CRM product for public-sector frontline teams and support its use across these activities.
