Summary of the contracting process

Dundee City Council finalised the procurement process for the "Provision of Pupil Journaling Software" aimed at Dundee Schools, focusing on services within the general public services sector. The process, completed and awarded with the identification code DCC/IT/25/25, utilised a limited procurement method without prior publication based on the NHS SBS Digital Workplace Solutions Framework. This award, covering the geographical locale of Dundee City, is classified under CPV code 72212190 and falls outside the directive scope. The procedure reached the award stage, and the contract was signed with Softcat Plc on 1st April 2025, with a contract value of £96,720.00.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in educational software, IT services, and digital solutions. Larger companies, familiar with niche framework agreements and capable of delivering seamless digital solutions tailored to regional educational needs, are well-suited for such contracts. Although Softcat Plc secured this tender, it highlights the opportunities for firms to engage with local governments to support public service sectors, particularly if experienced in navigating frameworks for direct awards.
