## Summary

Chelmsford City Council procured a local authority case management system for use across various Council departments. The Uniform system includes modules for development management, building control, environmental health, anti-social behaviour, private sector housing, licensing and gazetteer management, each with associated sub-modules. This is a software and information systems requirement, delivered for the Council in Chelmsford. The procurement was made as a call-off from the Vertical Application Solutions framework, RM6259.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Idox Software Ltd. The Council used a limited call-off procedure from its RM6259 framework, without publishing a separate competition notice; the lot was evaluated on price. One bid was recorded. The awarded contract value is £320,000. The contract was signed on 1 October 2026 and is active. The single lot, covering all listed system modules, is marked cancelled in the procurement data, while the award and contract are active; this creates a conflicting status for the lot, so the outcome is reported as an active contract and award.

This award demonstrates demand from Chelmsford City Council for an integrated local-authority case management platform spanning regulatory, planning, housing, licensing and community-safety functions, alongside gazetteer management. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a mature system with the breadth to support these distinct departmental workflows and their sub-modules, and the ability to serve them as a joined-up council solution. The incumbent was Idox Software Ltd, and the purchase was made through the Vertical Application Solutions framework, so framework access and a viable route to supply through that arrangement are commercially relevant. The single recorded bid and price-based evaluation indicate that price competitiveness mattered in this award; suppliers should be able to offer a competitive cost for a broad, multi-department software package. The data does not identify specific technical credentials or service levels.
