## Summary

Durham County Council procured software licences from SafetyCulture Pty Ltd for health and safety, building services and waste operations. The requirement supports the council’s existing arrangements for using SafetyCulture across these service areas. It covers an industry-specific software package, including the functionality needed to manage forms and related operational processes. The arrangement is intended for the council’s service delivery in the United Kingdom, with the buyer based in Durham. The stated purpose also includes allowing the council’s Digital Services team to assess its own capacity and capability to develop forms with the required functionality. This is therefore relevant to software providers supporting operational compliance, inspection, reporting and form-based workflows for public-sector services.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Durham County Council used a below-threshold direct award without competition. The contract was signed on 12 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. Its value is £34,000 excluding VAT, or £40,800 including VAT. One supplier was selected: SafetyCulture Pty Ltd. The award covers one completed lot for the software licence requirement. The procurement is an interim arrangement to maintain existing SafetyCulture provision while Digital Services explores whether it can develop the required forms internally. No competitive evaluation basis is stated because the contract was awarded directly without competition. The contract is below the applicable threshold.

This procurement demonstrates established public-sector demand for a specialist operational software platform spanning health and safety, building services and waste. A credible future competitor would need to provide configurable software licences that support forms and the required functionality across several council service areas, while maintaining continuity with existing operational arrangements. Relevant suppliers are likely to be experienced in compliance, inspection, reporting and workflow tools used by local authorities or other asset-intensive organisations. The requirement also shows the importance of addressing the buyer’s internal digital capability: a supplier would need to offer functionality that is practical to operate and sufficiently capable to meet service needs where internal development is being considered. Suppliers able to support multiple operational teams through one platform would be well placed.
