Summary of the contracting process

Dundee City Council procured a flexible workforce management software system for use in Dundee. The requirement is for a software system supporting the council’s flexible workforce management; the procurement is categorised as goods. The recorded scope does not describe particular software functions or integrations, so relevance will depend on whether your product meets the council’s detailed requirements for this type of system.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Teacher Booker. Dundee City Council used a direct award through the Crown Commercial Service Supply Teachers and Temporary Staffing framework (RM6238), without a separate competition or prior call for competition. The contract was signed on 25 September 2025 and is active, with a value of £90,000. The process had one bid, evaluated on price. The procurement was arranged as one lot. An optional one-year extension is described, with an extension limit of 29 October 2029; the contract’s base period and the award decision date are not stated.

This award shows Dundee City Council’s requirement for flexible workforce management software and its use of the Crown Commercial Service framework for supply teachers and temporary staffing to source it. A credible competitor when a similar requirement returns would need to provide software suited to managing a flexible workforce and to compete on price. The selected supplier was an SME, and the process recorded one bid, illustrating that a smaller specialist supplier was able to fulfil the requirement through this route. The available scope gives no further evidence about technical features, integrations, implementation demands or qualifications, so software suppliers should assess their fit against the council’s detailed requirements before pursuing comparable work.
