Summary of the contracting process

Leisure and Culture Dundee procured a digital health and safety recording software solution for its organisation. The requirement was for software to support the recording of health and safety information, rather than a wider range of goods or services. Delivery is in Dundee. The buyer is Leisure and Culture Dundee, the organisation responsible for the leisure and cultural services named in its title. This is a software procurement within the broader category of computer software and information systems (CPV 48000000).

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Softcat. The buyer used a direct award under the NHS Shared Business Services Digital Workplace Solutions 2 framework, without a separate competition or a published call for competition. The contract was signed on 10 September 2026 and is active, with a stated value of £153,000. The procurement comprised one lot for the health and safety digital software solution. The recorded award criterion was price. The lot includes three optional extension periods, each lasting 12 months. One bid was recorded for the lot. The award data does not provide a separate award date or a contract end date.

For suppliers tracking future demand from Leisure and Culture Dundee, this award demonstrates a requirement for a digital system specifically for health and safety recording. A credible competitor would need to supply software suited to that recording function and be able to deliver it in Dundee. The purchase was made through the NHS Shared Business Services Digital Workplace Solutions 2 framework, so suppliers seeking similar work from this buyer would need to understand the framework route and whether they can participate through it. Price was the recorded award criterion, making competitive pricing important alongside a solution that meets the buyer’s health and safety recording needs. The award went to a large supplier, and a single bid was recorded.
