## Summary

Kent County Council procured a software configuration service for Formulate for Adult Social Care, an indicative personal budget estimation tool for adults with eligible needs following a Care Act assessment. The requirement covers configuring and supporting a digital tool that helps estimate personal budgets within adult social care. The buying organisation is Kent County Council, based in Maidstone. The service is classified as software configuration services and relates to one completed requirement. The scope is relevant to suppliers providing configurable social-care technology, personal budget or financial assessment tools, and associated support for local authorities. The named service is Formulate, indicating a product-based solution rather than a general software development engagement.

This procurement has been awarded and the resulting contract is active. Kent County Council awarded the contract to Imosphere Ltd; the contract was signed on 2 July 2026. The contract runs from 2 July 2026 to 30 June 2028, with a maximum possible end date of 30 June 2029. The buyer reserved an optional extension of up to 12 months, including licensing, support and maintenance, valued at £49,782 excluding VAT. The contract value is £104,995 excluding VAT, or £125,994 including VAT. The procurement was a below-threshold tender using a method recorded as unknown. It comprised one completed lot, covering the Formulate adult social care personal budget tool requirement.

This award shows that Kent County Council buys configured digital tools to support adult social care assessments and personal budget estimation, with ongoing licensing, support and maintenance. A credible future supplier would need an established social-care technology product or strong software configuration capability, together with the ability to translate Care Act assessment outcomes into usable personal budget estimates. Experience working with local authorities and adult social care teams would help demonstrate understanding of statutory processes, operational users and data requirements. Suppliers should also be able to provide dependable implementation, product configuration, user support, maintenance and licence administration throughout a multi-year service arrangement. The successful supplier’s scale indicates that delivery capacity and the ability to sustain support over the contract lifecycle may be important.
