## Summary

The London Borough of Camden has completed its procurement process for the "Children Services CareCubed" project, which falls under the IT services category, including consulting, software development, Internet, and support. This involves a service provided via the GCloud 14 framework, allowing for place-based licenses with unlimited licenses that extend to the Council, the CCG, and other providers. The procurement was executed without prior competition due to the unique offering of CareCubed, a tool that assists in estimating care costs. The procurement process utilised a limited method, rationalised by the tool's distinctive attributes. The contract was awarded to iESE Innovation Ltd with relevant work commencing following its signing on 2nd October 2025. The initiative aims to serve multiple regions across the UK, enhancing the national application of this tool.

This procurement provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those skilled in offering unique, non-competitive solutions. Newcomers to the market may find less opportunity due to the absence of open competition for this contract. However, SMEs with innovative IT service solutions that address specific council needs may find a promising niche in contracts like these. The engagement of iESE Innovation Ltd underscores the importance of providing distinct solutions that cater to both local government needs and national applications. Businesses positioned to offer such specialised services will benefit greatly from engaging with similar procurement processes within the public sector framework.

## Notice

CareCubed is a secure online tool which will assist London Borough Camden (referred to as "LB Camden") to get estimates on care costs based on individual needs, care setting configuration, and national benchmarks. The online tool will be used to support open and transparent negotiation of costs for specialist care placements. The tool will provide a structured, person-centred, approach to recording needs and provides a clear baseline of costs for negotiation between commissioner and provider, as well as a mechanism for evaluating the impact of changes to LB Camden.
