## Summary

Somerset Council bought data collection and analysis software to support monitoring for children in Somerset. This is a software service, classified under CPV 48000000, and the delivery location is Taunton. The requirement is focused on software that enables the council’s monitoring work for children; no wider service scope is described. The buyer is Somerset Council, based in Taunton. The selected supplier, Welfare Call (LAC) Ltd, is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The requirement demonstrates council demand for specialist software supporting children’s monitoring, rather than a general-purpose information system or unrelated children’s services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Welfare Call (LAC) Ltd on 23 September 2026. The award value is £439,275.24. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with one optional 12-month extension. Somerset Council used a selective call-off from the CCS G-Cloud 14 framework agreement. The original estimated value was also £439,275.24, and submissions closed at midday on 1 September 2026. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to take part; voluntary, community and social enterprises were not. The published information does not set out a scoring breakdown or detailed technical eligibility requirements.

For suppliers competing when this requirement next reaches the market, the award shows demand for data collection and analysis software tailored to monitoring children in Somerset. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate that its software can support this monitoring purpose, along with the capacity to provide and maintain a specialist software service for a local authority. The selected provider is an SME, and the route used was a call-off from a government cloud software framework, indicating that framework access and the ability to compete through that route are relevant. The opportunity is software-focused; suppliers whose offer is limited to general consultancy, unrelated children’s services or broader IT without relevant monitoring functionality are less closely aligned with this requirement.
