## Summary

Halton Borough Council procured the BetterCare Finance System, a software solution for recording financial assessment details and calculating the contribution that service users make towards the cost of their care. The requirement is for software and information systems supporting adult social care finance processes. The council is based in Widnes, and the awarded service is for delivery in the United Kingdom. The system is intended for a public-sector care funding environment, where accurate assessment records and contribution calculations are central to determining what individuals pay. Suppliers with relevant care-finance, social-care administration or public-sector case-management software would find the requirement most closely aligned with their capabilities.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold direct award without competition. One lot was completed, with INFOSHARE+ LIMITED selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. Its value is £63,000 excluding VAT and £75,600 including VAT. The award covers software and information systems for the BetterCare Finance System. The contracting route means the buyer did not run a competitive tender for this requirement. The outcome provides a clear example of the council’s chosen route for a specialist, below-threshold finance system and identifies the incumbent supplier for the current contract period.

This requirement is commercially relevant to suppliers developing or implementing software for social-care financial assessments, charging and contribution calculations. A credible competitor would need a functioning system that can capture assessment information accurately, apply care-cost contribution calculations consistently and support the operational needs of a local authority. Experience with public-sector finance, adult social care workflows, data handling and implementation would help demonstrate fit. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that delivery at this scale is accessible to smaller specialist technology businesses as well as larger providers. The direct-award route also indicates that a future challenger would need a clearly differentiated specialist proposition and a strong understanding of the council’s existing BetterCare-related processes.
