## Summary

Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council procured bereavement management software: administration software for its bereavement services. The requirement was for software supply, rather than a broader set of services or works. Delivery is in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council’s area, in Dorset. The requirement was arranged as a single software lot and called off from the Crown Commercial Service’s G-Cloud 14 framework. This provides evidence of the council’s demand for software to support bereavement-service administration.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to GSS (NI) Limited. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026 and is active, with a value of £118,400. The council used a direct award under the G-Cloud 14 framework, without a separate competition. The procurement had one software lot; that lot is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active. The stated award basis was price. One bid was recorded, from an SME. No contract end date or duration is available in the process information.

For suppliers considering similar bereavement-service software requirements from this council, the award indicates demand for a software product that supports the administration of bereavement services, rather than general-purpose council software. A credible competitor would need to show that its product can meet this specific operational use and be supplied through an appropriate public-sector purchasing route: the council selected a provider through the G-Cloud 14 framework rather than running a separate competition. The recorded award was based on price, so a supplier would need a commercially competitive offer as well as a suitable product. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement was served by a smaller provider; the process records one bid.
