Summary of the contracting process

Dundee City Council procured pupil tracking software services for schools in Dundee. The requirement covers software provision for the city’s schools, described as pupil tracking; the service is classified under software consultancy and supply services (CPV 72212190). The contract relates to school year 2026–27, with pupil numbers allowed to vary and an option to extend the service. The delivery location is Dundee. This is a council-wide education technology requirement rather than a supply of general-purpose hardware or unrelated IT services.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Dundee City Council used a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition, making the award through the Scottish Government SVAR Framework. One lot was awarded to Computacenter, and price was the stated award criterion. The recorded contract value is £90,616.83. The contract was signed on 17 June 2026. The service is for school year 2026–27, with an option to extend for one further year, until 2028. One bid was recorded for the lot. The award was made to Computacenter; no separate award date is recorded.

For suppliers of education software, this award demonstrates Dundee City Council’s demand for pupil tracking services delivered across its schools. A credible competitor would need a suitable pupil-tracking product and the ability to provide and support it for a school service whose pupil numbers may vary. The selected route was through the Scottish Government SVAR Framework, so relevant framework access and the ability to compete within that arrangement would matter if a similar requirement returns. Price was the stated award basis, making competitive pricing central to the offer. The contract’s school-year scope indicates that suppliers should be able to serve the council’s education environment as a defined service, rather than offering generic software without a clear fit for pupil tracking.
