## Summary

Together for Children Sunderland Limited has procured a court bundling and case management system: specialist software to support the preparation and management of court cases. The requirement is classified as industry-specific software. The system is for the buyer’s work in Sunderland, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The procurement covers one lot and one software award, rather than separate service or works packages. Iken Business Ltd, based in Bristol, was selected to supply the system. This requirement is relevant to software suppliers with products for legal case administration, court-bundle preparation and case management, particularly those able to serve a local authority children’s services organisation. The award demonstrates demand for a dedicated system for managing court-related casework within the buyer’s operating context.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Iken Business Ltd. The buyer used a direct award without competition, through the Government Commercial Agency’s G-Cloud 14 framework; the procurement was below threshold. The contract was signed on 18 June 2026 and runs from 18 June 2026 to 17 June 2029, with an option for one 12-month extension, potentially taking it to 17 June 2030. The contract value is £72,750 excluding VAT and £87,300 including VAT. There was one lot, awarded as a single contract. The award is active and the contract is active. No separate award date is stated. The purchase was assessed through the framework route rather than a competitive tender for this requirement; no evaluation criteria are reported.

For suppliers of court and legal case-management software, this award is evidence of a specific requirement within children’s services at Together for Children Sunderland: a system combining court-bundle preparation and case management. A credible competitor would need to show that its product supports those functions as a joined-up, specialist software package and can be deployed for the buyer’s Sunderland operation. The incumbent was a small or medium-sized business, indicating that the requirement was met by a specialist supplier rather than necessarily requiring a large technology provider. The buyer selected its supplier through G-Cloud 14, using a direct award without competition, so familiarity with the framework route and the ability to offer a suitable solution through it are commercially relevant. The award provides a concrete reference point for suppliers with equivalent court-case software capabilities.
