## Summary

Southampton City Council procured a cloud-based e-procurement and contract management system, Proquro. The requirement covers supplying, implementing and supporting the software platform, migrating data, training users, integrating the system and providing ongoing support. This is an IT software and support services contract, with delivery in Southampton. The system is intended to support the council’s procurement and contract management activities. The work combines technology supply with implementation and continuing services, so it is relevant to software providers and systems integrators able to deliver and support an e-procurement platform for a local authority.

The procurement is complete: Master Software Solutions Ltd was selected, and the contract is active. It was signed on 3 September 2026 for £226,842. The award date and contract period are not stated in the available process details. The council used the G-Cloud 14 framework and a limited procedure without a prior published call for competition. There was one bid, which was from an SME; the stated award criterion was price. The requirement was arranged as one lot, whose status is recorded as cancelled, although the award and resulting contract are active. The recorded outcome identifies Master Software Solutions Ltd as the supplier.

For suppliers considering similar future requirements from Southampton City Council, this award demonstrates demand for a complete e-procurement and contract management SaaS solution rather than software alone. A credible competitor would need to supply and implement the platform, migrate existing data, integrate it into the council’s systems, train users and provide ongoing support. The successful supplier was an SME, and the procurement attracted one bid, showing that a smaller specialist provider can deliver this kind of local-authority requirement. Suppliers should be able to explain how their platform supports procurement and contract management and offer a price that competes on the stated evaluation basis. The route used was the G-Cloud framework.
