Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Borders Council has completed the procurement process for the purchase of a literacy app through a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition. The title of the tender was "Award - Literacy App". The contract was awarded to Kaligo International Limited with a total value of £110,480. The procurement process was initiated on 13th June 2023, and the contract was signed on 14th April 2023. The procurement falls under the category of goods and was carried out by the Scottish Borders Council without competition due to the absence of a similar app on the market.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses, particularly suppliers of digital services and educational technologies, to engage with the Scottish Borders Council for similar projects in the future. Given the justification for the limited procurement method based on the uniqueness of the app, businesses specialising in niche products or services may find such tailored procurement processes beneficial for showcasing their offerings. Furthermore, SMEs that can offer innovative solutions in the digital education sector could position themselves favourably for similar contract opportunities in the public sector.
