## Summary

Durham County Council has recently completed a procurement process for the renewal of a legacy contract concerning a Progression and Learning Case Management System. This tender, titled "002331 - Progression and Learning Case Management System," is focused within the services industry category, specifically targeting software package and information systems. The procurement was conducted under a direct award method due to technical reasons, ensuring the best value and continuity of service. The contract has been awarded to Access UK Limited, headquartered in Loughborough, and it spans a contractual period from 1st May 2026 to 30th April 2027, totalling a gross value of £56,786.06.

Engaging in such procurement processes can help firms expand their market reach while contributing to the growth of essential public services.

Renewal of the legacy contract for a case management system to support tracking of young peoples education training and employment post 16.

### Procurement Information

A change of supplier would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation or maintenance, and the current legacy agreement ensures that best value is retained. The direct award process is most suitable under permitted justification for 'Additional or repeat good, services or works'. This will ensure that this legacy contract is visible to the Procurement Team whilst maintaining legacy pricing. We are actively working with the service area on reprocuring this solution and another with the same supplier to futureproof the service.
