Summary of the contracting process

Dundee City Council procured pupil journaling software for schools in Dundee. The requirement is for software supporting pupil journaling; the procurement description does not give further detail about its functions or implementation. The work is categorised as software-related services. Dundee City Council is the buyer, and delivery is in Dundee.

The procurement is complete and awarded to Softcat. It covered one lot, for which the stated award criterion was price. The council used a direct award through the NHS Shared Business Services Digital Workplace Solutions 2 framework, which permits direct awards by eligible users. The contract is active and was signed on 30 March 2026. Its stated value is £121,381.05. The procurement data records one bid for the lot. It gives no award date or contract-period dates, so the signing date is the available contract milestone.

For suppliers considering similar future requirements from Dundee City Council, this award shows demand for pupil journaling software for Dundee schools, procured through the NHS Shared Business Services Digital Workplace Solutions 2 framework by direct award. Softcat was selected, and the recorded competition comprised one bid. A credible competitor would need to supply software suited to pupil journaling in schools and be able to meet the council’s requirement through the relevant framework route. The available description does not establish particular product features, integrations, implementation services, accreditations or technical qualifications, so these cannot be treated as demonstrated conditions for competing.
