## Summary

Manchester City Council has completed a procurement process for the delivery of the Case Center Bundling System, a highly integrated database-management system provided by Thomson Reuters (Professional) UK Limited. The project's procurement stage has concluded with the contract award dated 10th November 2025, and operations are scheduled from 1st November 2025 to 31st October 2028. This direct award method was employed given that Thomson Reuters holds exclusive intellectual property rights to the product, ensuring seamless continuation of legal operations within the CFLG teams. The process culminated in an active contract valued at approximately £187,303.41, servicing the Manchester area under UKD33, and classified under the 'goods' procurement category.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in bespoke software solutions, particularly those involved in legal and data management systems. Although the contract has been directly awarded to Thomson Reuters, it underlines the necessity for niche solutions tailored to specific business processes, suggesting potential for businesses that offer innovative, proprietary applications conducive to public sector needs. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in supporting robust, mission-critical software environments could stand out in similar future engagements.

## Notice

This is a contract with Thompson Reuters for the provision of the Case Centre (Formally CaseLines) bundling system which is extensively used within the CFLG teams and is central to their business processes.

### Procurement Information

This product is only available through Thompson Reuters. CFLG have used this system for a number of years and have built business systems and processes which are entirely reliant upon this solution. A change in contractor would be a fundamental risk to their ability to conduct safeguarding legal work.
