## Summary

Cheshire East Council acquired a digital case system: software that enables secure access to sensitive and confidential data for approximately 300 advocates. The requirement is for software and information systems, rather than construction or consultancy services. Delivery is associated with Cheshire East, with the council based in Crewe. The system is intended to support advocates handling protected case information, so relevant suppliers are those providing secure, reliable software for controlled access to confidential data in a public-sector legal or casework environment. The procurement was made through the G-Cloud 14 framework and was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement, indicating a framework-based public-sector technology purchase for a defined user community.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Thomson Reuters (Professional) UK Limited. Cheshire East Council signed the active contract on 27 August 2026 for £208,440. The process used a limited award procedure without prior publication of a competition, relying on the G-Cloud 14 framework. One bid was recorded. Evaluation was based on price. The requirement included an option for a single 12-month extension. The procurement was treated as outside the scope of the relevant directive under the stated rationale. The award is active and the contract is active; the associated lot is recorded as cancelled, but the award and contract remain the operative outcome published for this requirement.

This purchase provides a clear benchmark for suppliers serving councils and legal teams that need controlled access to confidential case information. A credible competitor would need a mature software product with strong security controls, dependable user access management and the operational resilience to support around 300 advocates. Experience handling sensitive data and workflows in public-sector, legal or similarly regulated environments would help demonstrate suitability. Suppliers would also need the capacity to implement and support a system for a sizeable professional user base, while presenting a competitive price because price was the recorded evaluation basis. Familiarity with G-Cloud framework purchasing would be commercially relevant when pursuing comparable council technology requirements.
