## Summary

Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council procured a cloud-based NEC4 contract management tool for managing and administering the council’s design, build and operate projects. This is a software service, intended to support contract management across those projects. The requirement was grouped as a single lot. The listed delivery location is Bournemouth, where the council is based.

The procurement is complete: thinkproject UK Limited was selected and the contract is active. The award was made on 18 September 2026, and the contract was signed that day. Its value is £98,809.20. The council used a direct award call-off from Crown Commercial Service’s G-Cloud 14 framework, without a separate competition for this contract. One bid was recorded. The single lot is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are active; the published outcome identifies thinkproject UK Limited as the awarded supplier. The stated award criterion was price.

This purchase indicates demand at Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council for cloud software tailored to NEC4 contract management and administration of design, build and operate projects. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate that its tool supports NEC4 workflows and can serve the council’s project-management needs through a cloud service. The route used here was a framework call-off, so suppliers seeking comparable work would benefit from eligibility for relevant public-sector frameworks and the ability to meet their call-off terms. Price was the stated evaluation basis, making competitive pricing important alongside a clear fit to the requirement. The selected supplier was a large company, but the procurement does not establish a minimum supplier size or other specific accreditation or experience threshold.
