PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Moray Council bought a Low Income Family Tracker (LIFT) system as a software and information technology service. The system is intended to support tracking of low-income families and is to be delivered for Moray. The requirement was a direct award from the G-Cloud 14 framework, indicating a managed technology service sourced through an established public-sector framework rather than a new standalone works project. The contracting authority is Moray Council, based in Elgin. The service falls within the broad information technology software services category, with CPV classification 72212100 for industry-specific software development services. Businesses relevant to this requirement include suppliers of family-support tracking platforms, public-sector case-management systems, data services and associated implementation or support.

This procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Moray Council used a limited procedure: a direct award from the G-Cloud 14 framework, without prior publication of a call for competition. There was one bid, submitted electronically. Policy in Practice was selected as the supplier for the single requirement. The contract value is £115,585 including the stated currency of GBP, and the contract was signed on 9 September 2026. The tender and lot are recorded as complete. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement and treated as outside the scope of the relevant directive. The published outcome identifies one awarded supplier and no separate lot values or alternative awards.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement is useful evidence that Moray Council has a defined need for a system supporting low-income family tracking, with a public-sector technology purchase made through the G-Cloud framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a proven platform for recording, managing and analysing information about low-income families, together with the governance, security and service-management arrangements expected in local government. Experience delivering software services to councils or similar public bodies would strengthen a bid, as would the ability to provide implementation, user support and reliable electronic service delivery. Suppliers should also assess whether they hold an appropriate G-Cloud route for direct-award or call-off purchasing.
