Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Wandsworth is procuring a cemetery and crematorium administration system, named BACAS Nova. The requirement is for software supply services to support administration across cemetery and crematorium operations. The process has one lot and is part of the borough’s software purchasing. The listed buyer is Wandsworth; the contract is not described as a joint purchase with another authority. The awarded supplier, Clear Skies Software, is based in Manchester, but the data does not identify a delivery location for the system or specify which sites or operational functions it will cover. The work is a software system supply requirement, rather than construction or facilities works.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Clear Skies Software. Wandsworth used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, and the process comprised one lot. The recorded award is pending. Its gross value is £53,202, with a net value of £44,335. The contract period runs from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029. A future signature milestone is scheduled for 21 October 2026. The procurement is for software supply services; no separate evaluation criteria are recorded. The award information identifies Clear Skies Software as the supplier, but does not provide a separate award date. The supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise.

This award shows that Wandsworth buys specialist software for cemetery and crematorium administration through a direct award route when the requirement is below the applicable threshold. A credible competitor for similar work would need to supply a system suited to cemetery and crematorium administration and demonstrate that it can support the buyer’s operational needs. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that this requirement was delivered by a smaller software business rather than only a large systems integrator. Suppliers with relevant experience in cemetery or crematorium administration software, and the capacity to provide and support such a system, would be well placed to compete if this requirement returns to market. The published scope does not establish particular technical standards, integrations, service levels or accreditations, so these should not be treated as known conditions.
