## Summary

Blackpool Borough Council procured cloud-based Education, Health and Care Plan software, specifically hosting, support and maintenance for the Idox EHC Hub. The software supports the council’s Education, Health and Care Plan work. This is an educational software package, supplied as a cloud service under the G-Cloud 14 framework. Delivery is for Blackpool Borough Council in Blackpool, England. The requirement combines access to the hosted system with ongoing technical support and maintenance, rather than a general software purchase. The selected provider was Idox Software Limited.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Idox Software Limited. The award is active, and the contract is active; it was signed on 12 October 2026. The contract value is £120,000. The contracting period is not stated in the available process details. The council used a call-off from the Crown Commercial Service’s G-Cloud 14 framework, Lot 2 for cloud software, following a desk-based evaluation of suitable providers. The procedure was limited, without prior publication of a competition notice. Evaluation was on price. One bid was recorded. The process records the relevant lot as cancelled, although the associated award and contract are active.

This award shows demand from Blackpool Borough Council for a hosted Education, Health and Care Plan system with continuing support and maintenance, procured through a public-sector cloud framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide a suitable cloud-based EHC plan product and demonstrate dependable hosting, user support and software maintenance as an integrated service. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that this requirement was delivered by a smaller specialist provider rather than necessarily requiring a large systems integrator. Suppliers would also need to be eligible and positioned to supply through the relevant framework route, and able to compete on price under a desk-based assessment of suitable providers. The commercial fit is strongest for suppliers with an established EHC plan platform and the capacity to support the council’s service on an ongoing basis.
