## Summary

Social Work England procured a cloud-based e-procurement and e-tendering platform to support its procurement operations. The system covers tender management, supplier engagement, bid evaluation and contract award, together with associated procurement activities. This is procurement software supplied as a service, rather than a purchase of physical goods or construction work. The work is for Social Work England, with delivery associated with Sheffield. The requirement is for an integrated platform spanning the procurement process from managing tenders and supplier interactions through evaluation and award.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to BiP Solutions Limited. The award was made on 14 July 2026 for £84,570, with a contract period from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. The estimated tender value was also £84,570. The contract was placed as a call-off from the Crown Commercial Service G-Cloud 14 framework, using a selective procurement route. The tender deadline was 1 July 2026 at 5pm. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published information does not state an evaluation weighting or scoring basis.

This award demonstrates demand at Social Work England for a cloud-based platform that supports the full procurement workflow, including e-tendering, supplier engagement, bid evaluation and contract award. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to show that its system can bring these functions together and support associated procurement activities, rather than provide only a standalone tender portal. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that this scale of requirement can be met by a smaller technology provider. Suppliers with proven experience delivering cloud procurement platforms and supporting public-sector procurement teams would be well placed to demonstrate fit. The route used was a call-off through the G-Cloud 14 framework, so framework access and an ability to compete through that route are commercially relevant.
