Summary of the contracting process

Clackmannanshire Council procured a new social care IT case management system. The service is intended to support the council’s Children’s, Adults, Justice and Education Psychology service areas, providing software and information systems for managing social care cases. Delivery is for Clackmannanshire Council, based in Alloa. The requirement falls within services and is classified under CPV 48000000 for software package and information systems. The successful solution therefore needs to serve multiple social care functions within one council, rather than a single specialist team. It is relevant to suppliers of public-sector case management platforms, social care software, implementation services and associated information systems that can support these service areas together.

The procurement has been awarded following a tender process, with three bids recorded. Access UK Ltd, based in Loughborough, was selected as the supplier. The awarded value is £1,144,752. The contract is recorded as active. The requirement covers one new social care case management system for Children’s, Adults, Justice and Education Psychology services. The available process information records the tender start date as 9 January 2026; the award is not presented with a separate award date or contract duration. Evaluation resulted in the selection of Access UK Ltd from the three bidders. The buying organisation is Clackmannanshire Council, and the procurement was run as a tender rather than a direct purchase.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Clackmannanshire Council for an integrated social care case management system spanning children’s services, adult services, justice and education psychology. Suppliers well placed for comparable future work would be those with a proven public-sector social care platform that can accommodate different service workflows, user groups and case types within one system. Credible competitors are likely to need experience delivering software and information systems for councils, together with the technical capacity to implement and support a multi-service deployment. The three-bid competition also indicates that suppliers from the specialist social care technology market can compete for this type of council-wide requirement. Access UK Ltd is the incumbent supplier for this procurement.
