Summary of the contracting process

Falkirk Council procured a community engagement platform, classified as software goods (CPV 48000000), for use in Falkirk. The requirement was a call-off from the council’s Software Value Added Reseller framework. The platform is intended to support community engagement; the procurement description does not provide further functional or technical detail about the system. Falkirk Council was the buying organisation, and the stated delivery location was Falkirk. The selected supplier was Computacenter (UK) Limited. This was a software supply requirement rather than a works contract or a general consultancy service, with the purchase made through a reseller framework.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Computacenter (UK) Limited. Falkirk Council used a limited call-off from its sole-supplier Software Value Added Reseller framework, without a new call for competition. The call-off covered a three-year period. The contract was signed on 5 October 2026 and has an awarded value of £87,576.72. There was one lot, which is complete; one bid was recorded. The procurement record identifies the award as a completed outcome, but does not give a separate award date. No scored evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements are set out for this call-off. The route therefore relied on the existing framework supplier rather than a competition between suppliers for this requirement.

For suppliers seeking comparable future work with Falkirk Council, this award shows demand for a community engagement platform procured through a software value-added reseller framework. A credible competitor would need to supply suitable platform software and be able to fulfil a council call-off through the relevant framework route. The single-supplier framework meant the call-off was not competed among suppliers at this stage; access to the framework and the ability to meet its terms would therefore be commercially important. The award establishes a modest, defined requirement for a platform delivered in Falkirk over a multi-year period. The available procurement information does not establish particular platform features, integrations, service levels, security standards or supplier accreditations, so these should not be assumed to have been assessed.
