## Summary

Oxford Direct Services Limited procured a digital drainage asset management and performance reporting system. The requirement is for software and related services to manage drainage assets digitally and report on their performance, for delivery in the South East of England. This is a drainage-specific operational platform rather than a general-purpose software purchase: suppliers need to provide a system suited to maintaining drainage asset information and producing performance reports. The procurement sits within the software and information systems category. The buyer is Oxford Direct Services Limited, and the selected provider is Kaarbon Technology Ltd. The system’s stated purpose is to support digital drainage asset management and performance reporting.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Kaarbon Technology Ltd. Oxford Direct Services Limited used a call-off from the G-Cloud 14 framework, through a selective procurement route. The award was made on 29 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £54,000. The contract period runs from 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2030. The tender submission deadline was 28 September 2026. The published details describe the required system and reporting function but give no separate evaluation criteria or scoring basis. The award covers the drainage management software platform as a single requirement; the procurement details do not divide it into lots. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable to participate.

For suppliers competing for a comparable requirement from Oxford Direct Services Limited, the demonstrated need is for a digital platform focused on drainage assets, with asset management and performance reporting in one operational system. A credible competitor would need to show that its software can support the buyer’s drainage-management activities and produce useful performance reports, rather than offer only generic asset or reporting tools. The contract was awarded through a framework call-off, so relevant suppliers would also need to be positioned to supply through the buyer’s chosen framework route. The stated suitability for smaller businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that participation was not confined to large providers. The selected supplier’s award provides evidence of a defined, multi-year software services requirement for the buyer.
