## Summary

Southampton City Council procured a software service covering the supply, implementation and support of Proquro, a cloud-based e-procurement and contract management platform. The scope includes migrating existing data, training users, integrating the platform with Unit4 Business World, and providing ongoing support. This is an information systems and IT support requirement, classified under CPV 48000000 and 72000000. The service is for the council’s operations in Southampton, with the buying organisation based at the Civic Centre. Businesses relevant to this requirement include providers of SaaS procurement or contract management platforms, implementation partners, data migration specialists, software integration firms and managed support providers able to deliver a combined technology and service package for a local authority.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Master Software Solutions on 3 September 2026. The awarded value is £158,821. The contract runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The tender deadline was 19 June 2026 at 12:00. Southampton City Council used a selective procedure through a call-off from the G-Cloud 14 Framework Agreement (RM1557.14). The requirement was treated as a services procurement and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award covers the full Proquro platform, implementation, data migration, training, Unit4 Business World integration and ongoing support. The published outcome identifies Master Software Solutions as the active awarded supplier.

This award demonstrates a local authority requirement for a single supplier able to combine specialist procurement software with implementation and long-term support. A credible competitor for comparable work would need a mature SaaS e-procurement and contract management product, with the ability to migrate data securely and train council staff. Experience integrating with Unit4 Business World or similar enterprise finance and business systems would be important, as would reliable support arrangements for an operational public-sector platform. The opportunity also shows that an SME can win this type of requirement through a framework call-off. Suppliers with public-sector delivery experience, strong information governance, effective onboarding methods and the capacity to maintain the service over several years would be well placed when this buyer next needs a similar system.
