## Summary

South Ayrshire Council procured the design and development of a case management system for its legal services. This is a digital and software development service, classified under business and computer-related services (CPV 72000000). The system is intended for use by the council’s legal services, with delivery in Ayr and the wider South Ayrshire area. The procurement was arranged through the council, which acts as the buying organisation and a central purchasing body. The requirement covered one lot for the complete design and development service. It therefore suits suppliers that deliver bespoke case management platforms, legal technology, software design, systems development and related implementation services for local government or comparable public-sector legal teams.

The procurement has been awarded and the resulting contract is active. South Ayrshire Council used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, stating that the procurement fell outside the scope of the applicable regulations because its value was below the relevant threshold. One electronic bid was recorded. Linknode Ltd was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 26 August 2026 and has a value of £49,950 including the stated currency of GBP. The award covered the full design and development requirement for the legal-services case management system. Evaluation was conducted through the limited award route rather than an open competition, and the recorded outcome is complete.

This award provides a clear example of South Ayrshire Council’s demand for a relatively contained, bespoke digital system supporting legal-services case management. Suppliers with experience in analysing legal workflows, designing user-centred case management tools and developing software for public-sector teams would be well placed to compete for comparable work. Credibility would come from showing that the platform can organise legal cases, records, tasks and associated information securely and in a way that fits council processes. Relevant software engineering, systems integration, testing, delivery and support capability would strengthen a future proposition. Experience working with local authorities, public legal departments or similarly regulated organisations would also help demonstrate an understanding of governance, confidentiality and operational assurance requirements.
