Summary of the contracting process

LiveWest Homes Limited procured the Lief platform, compliance, recording and reporting software for children’s residential care and supported accommodation. The software is intended to support compliance activity and the recording and reporting of information in these care settings. This is a software supply requirement rather than construction or a general care-services contract. The listed classification is for a compliance software package. The buyer is LiveWest Homes Limited, a housing organisation based in Exeter. The procurement identifies delivery in the United Kingdom, without naming a more specific delivery location. The requirement is described as one lot, covering the Lief platform as a single software package.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Yerado Limited. LiveWest used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The evaluation basis is not recorded. The contract was signed on 8 August 2026 and runs from 17 August 2026 to 16 August 2028. Its value is £138,000 excluding VAT (£165,600 including VAT). The supplier is identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The procurement consisted of one lot, and the award is active. The contract is also active. These details record the outcome of the purchase; they do not indicate an ongoing competition.

For suppliers seeking to compete for comparable requirements from LiveWest, this award demonstrates demand for software specifically supporting compliance, recording and reporting in children’s residential care and supported accommodation. A credible provider would need a platform suited to those operational settings and capable of supporting users’ compliance workflows as well as reliable recording and reporting. Product fit should be evidenced in the context of care provision, rather than through generic compliance software claims alone. The selected provider is a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that the requirement was delivered by a supplier of that scale. The purchase was made by direct award without competition, so the recorded outcome does not provide a competitive evaluation benchmark or disclose what qualifications, capacity or experience the buyer assessed.
