Summary of the contracting process

East Dunbartonshire Council procured an employability management information system and associated programme services for its employability work. The system is intended to capture and manage employability performance, track each learner’s journey and allow staff to extract information efficiently. Reporting must support requirements set by the Scottish Government, the European Commission and other regulated bodies. This is a business software and information-management service, classified under CPV 72261000 for software support services. Delivery relates to East Dunbartonshire, with the council based in Kirkintilloch. The requirement was arranged as a single service lot and is relevant to suppliers providing employability case-management, learner-tracking, performance-reporting or configurable management-information systems for public-sector programmes.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through an open procedure. Hanlon Software Solutions was selected for the single lot, and the contract is active. The contract value is £30,396.00. It was signed on 21 January 2026. One bid was recorded, including one bid from an SME, and it was submitted electronically. The requirement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The procurement concerned a single integrated employability management information system rather than separate supply packages. The published outcome identifies Hanlon Software Solutions as the appointed supplier. No separate award date or contract end date is stated in the process outcome.

For a future requirement of this type, credible suppliers would need to combine configurable case-management software with a strong understanding of employability programmes and learner progression. The system must support reliable performance capture, straightforward extraction of management information and reporting to government, European and other regulated bodies. Experience with public-sector data governance, audit trails, structured reporting and secure handling of learner information would strengthen a supplier’s position. The single recorded bid, submitted by an SME, indicates that specialist smaller businesses can be relevant competitors, while the appointed supplier’s software capability demonstrates the importance of delivering a focused system rather than a general reporting tool.
