Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council procured a positive behaviour management system, Class Charts, for secondary schools across the City of Edinburgh and within its boundaries. The system enables schools to record pupil behaviour in support of their Positive Relationship Strategy and communicate information effectively with staff, pupils and parents or carers through a user-friendly interface. This is a software and cloud services requirement, classified under CPV 72511000 for network management software services. The procurement was made as a call-off from the NHS SBS Cloud Solutions 2 framework, Lot 2. The council is the buyer and the selected supplier is Softcat Ltd, a large technology business based in Marlow.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used an open procedure to call off from the NHS SBS Cloud Solutions 2 framework, Lot 2, with one lot and one recorded bid. Softcat Ltd was awarded the contract, which is active and valued at £542,742. The contract was signed on 26 June 2026. The call-off includes an option for either party to exercise a three-year break clause. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off process; the published information identifies the open procedure but does not set out separate quality or price weightings. The contract is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The contracting authority is The City of Edinburgh Council.

For a future requirement of this type, credible suppliers would need to provide a reliable cloud-based behaviour management platform for secondary schools, with practical tools for recording and managing pupil behaviour. The service should support a school’s positive relationships approach and make relevant information easy to communicate to staff, pupils and parents or carers. A straightforward user experience is important because the system serves several user groups across a school community. Suppliers would also benefit from capability to deliver through an established public-sector cloud framework, including the commercial, implementation and support arrangements expected for a council-wide education service. The awarded requirement shows demand for a scalable education technology service serving schools across Edinburgh.
