Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council has awarded a contract for a Committee Management System to Softcat Plc. This procurement process, conducted using an open procedure, falls under the industry category of CPV 72000000, indicating services. The contract, which has been completed, was awarded on 30th May 2025 and is tied to the NHS SBS DWS Framework. The main delivery location for this service is Edinburgh. The contract's status is active, signifying that the procurement process has moved into the award stage.
