Summary of the contracting process

Aberdeenshire Council has awarded a three-year support and maintenance contract for the CareFirst Social Work Information System, valued at £540,000. The procurement process was conducted through a limited tendering method without prior publication of a call for competition, as the services could only be provided by OLM Systems due to exclusive rights related to intellectual property. The contract was officially signed on 27th February 2019, with the service delivery location specified as Aberdeenshire.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the IT services sector, particularly those with expertise in social work information systems and application support. Companies specialising in services that enhance social care and public sector technology solutions may find this an advantageous market to enter, especially in the context of ongoing reviews by Aberdeenshire Council for their future requirements beyond this contract's current term.
