## Summary

Thurrock Borough Council has completed a procurement process for the provision of a web-based children's services policy and procedures software. The tender, identified as PS-2025-022, sought a software solution to maintain and update local policies and procedures and comply with national/statutory guidance. Classified under 'Software package and information systems', this contract primarily addresses the software industry category and is intended for delivery within the East of England, United Kingdom. The procurement method was a direct approach through a single tender action which falls below the threshold, signifying a less competitive but efficient and tailored selection process. The contract was awarded on 31st March 2025 to Signis Group, valued at GBP 47,628, and spans from 1st June 2025 to 31st July 2029.

This tender presents notable opportunities for SMEs, particularly those specialising in bespoke software solutions tailored towards public sector requirements. Given the direct procurement method, it demonstrates a preference for niche, competent suppliers capable of delivering high-quality services without extensive bidding competition. Companies involved in software development and information systems, particularly those focusing on policy and statutory guidance management, would find this tender beneficial for business growth. The success of Signis Group in securing this contract highlights the potential for similarly positioned firms to engage with local government councils for lucrative public sector projects.
