## Summary

Southampton City Council procured a digital community engagement platform for the engagement phase of the Pride in Place programme, supporting the Weston Pride in Place Neighbourhood Board. The requirement covers cloud software and associated data services, falling within IT services including software, internet and support. The platform is intended to support community engagement activity and the handling of related data. Delivery is in Weston, Southampton. The contracting authority is Southampton City Council, a local authority. The selected supplier, SocialSignIn Ltd, is based in Birmingham and is classified as a small or medium-sized enterprise. This requirement is relevant to providers of cloud-based community engagement platforms, digital participation tools and supporting data services.

The procurement has been completed and the contract is active. It used a limited procedure: a call-off from the G-Cloud 14 RM1557.14 framework, under its cloud software lot, without prior publication of a competition notice. The contract was awarded to SocialSignIn Ltd, with one bid recorded. The award is active and the contract value is £23,640. The contract was signed on 21 August 2026. The award criterion was price. The call-off includes an option for Southampton City Council to extend it once for up to 12 months, by giving the supplier four weeks’ written notice before expiry. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

For competitors, this procurement demonstrates a local authority requirement for a focused digital community engagement platform supporting a neighbourhood regeneration and participation programme. A credible supplier would need to provide cloud software that enables organised community engagement, together with data services and dependable internet-based support. The chosen route shows that relevant suppliers may need to operate through the G-Cloud framework and compete through a framework call-off rather than a separately advertised open competition. The award to an SME indicates that this type of requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist provider. Businesses developing community participation platforms, consultation technology or related data services can use this requirement as a clear reference point for the capabilities and delivery model expected by Southampton City Council.
