UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The ExtraCare Charitable Trust procured eTendering and contract management software. The requirement covers software for managing electronic tendering and contracts, classified as a software package and information system. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The buyer is a charitable trust based in Coventry. The procurement was structured as one lot, covering the software requirement as a single package. This is relevant to software suppliers whose products support procurement exercises and contract administration for public or charitable-sector organisations. The selected supplier was BIP Solutions Limited, a Glasgow-based small and medium-sized enterprise.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. ExtraCare used a below-threshold limited competition procedure. BIP Solutions Limited was selected for the single lot, and the contract was signed on 20 July 2026. The contract runs from 21 July 2026 to 20 July 2031. Its gross value is £59,326.07. The published procurement details do not state the evaluation criteria or further eligibility requirements. The outcome establishes that the buyer selected a supplier for an integrated eTendering and contract management software requirement through limited competition.

For suppliers tracking demand from ExtraCare, this award shows a requirement for software that supports both electronic tendering and contract management, rather than tendering alone. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate that its platform can address these linked procurement and contract administration needs, and offer a product suitable for a charitable trust. The award went to a small and medium-sized software supplier, showing that the requirement was served by a supplier of this scale. Providers focused on procurement software and related information systems are the closest fit; general software businesses without relevant product capability are less directly aligned. The limited-competition route is also relevant to suppliers assessing how this buyer has previously sourced this specific requirement.
