## Summary

Walsall Metro Borough Council commissioned a reusable LocalGov Drupal digital platform to improve accessible digital services across the council. The work includes integrated, GDS-compliant Drupal forms; APIs linking Drupal with Microsoft Dynamics; and transforming microsites into a governed, scalable product that can be deployed more efficiently across services. It also introduces AI capabilities for productivity, accessibility, content quality and user experience, including intelligent assistance, AI-powered search and natural-language interactions. This is a digital platform and software implementation service, delivered for the council in Walsall. The requirement combines Drupal development and integration with digital service transformation and AI-enabled improvements, rather than the supply of a standalone software package.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Agile Collective Limited. Walsall Council used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded on 22 October 2026, with a value of £120,000. The contract period runs from 22 October 2026 to 21 October 2027. The original tender deadline was 28 September 2026 at 12:00. The published procurement information identifies the requirement as a single overall platform service rather than separating it into lots. The award record does not describe the evaluation criteria, so the basis on which competing offers were assessed cannot be summarised here.

This award demonstrates demand from Walsall Council for a supplier able to deliver and support a reusable LocalGov Drupal platform, not simply provide off-the-shelf software. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need strong Drupal development capability, experience integrating digital forms with government service standards, and the technical ability to build APIs connecting Drupal with Microsoft Dynamics. The work also calls for expertise in making microsites governed and scalable, so that services can be deployed efficiently across the council. Suppliers should be able to apply AI to practical public-facing digital services, particularly accessibility, content quality, search and natural-language interactions. The procurement was suitable for SMEs, and the selected supplier was an SME.

## Notice

The contract will deliver a reusable LocalGov Drupal (LGD) platform and enable Walsall Council to improve end-to-end accessible digital services (integrated, GDS-compliant Drupal forms). It will support the development of APIs between Drupal and Microsoft Dynamics and the transformation of microsites into a governed, scalable product that can be deployed more efficiently across services. The contract will also introduce AI capabilities to improve productivity, accessibility, content quality, and user experience through intelligent assistance, AI-powered search, and natural language interactions.
