## Summary

Wakefield Council commissioned specialist data migration consultancy to support the transfer of data from CareDirector to Mosaic in Yorkshire and the Humber. The service covers migration strategy development and management, data cleansing, ETL and SSIS package development, data validation, reconciliation of financial and client records, testing and error resolution. It also includes defining data structures, creating a repository for data that is not migrated, managing migration milestones, performance testing and robust risk management. The requirement is classified as systems and technical consultancy services (CPV 72220000) and falls within the services category. The purpose is to deliver an accurate, auditable and successful transfer of council data between the two systems.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 30 June 2026 to Reed Specialist Recruitment Limited. The award value was £237,736 including VAT status as reported, against an estimated tender value of £237,739. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 28 February 2027. It was procured as a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 30 June 2026 at 12:00. Reed Specialist Recruitment Limited is the selected supplier and the award is active. The evaluation basis and any lot structure are not described in the available procurement details. Wakefield Council is the buying organisation and the contract covers delivery in Yorkshire and the Humber.

For suppliers assessing future demand from Wakefield Council, this award demonstrates a defined need for specialist public-sector data migration capability between CareDirector and Mosaic. Credible competitors would need experience in migration strategy, data cleansing, ETL and SSIS development, validation, reconciliation of financial and client records, testing and error correction. They would also need to manage structured data definitions, non-migrated-data repositories, delivery milestones, performance testing and migration risks. The requirement favours a supplier able to provide disciplined project management alongside hands-on technical delivery, with strong controls for accuracy, auditability and data integrity. Experience of social care or similarly sensitive client and financial data would help demonstrate an understanding of the operational and assurance requirements of this council’s systems work. The route to market was a framework call-off.
