Summary of the contracting process

Cambridgeshire County Council procured a cloud-based attendance monitoring and reporting service for Cambridgeshire Virtual School. The service is for tracking attendance by Children in Care across education providers, with near-real-time daily monitoring, attendance analysis, rapid identification of absence patterns and accurate, auditable records. It must support prompt intervention when concerns arise and allow both automated and manual attendance collection, so that providers can be covered regardless of their existing systems. The requirement is limited to attendance monitoring and reporting and excludes electronic Personal Education Plan functionality. This is a services procurement for delivery across England, including all English regions. The relevant business category is attendance recording software and related cloud service provision, classified under CPV 31711310.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It was conducted as a call-off through the G-Cloud 14 framework, with the award made on 17 July 2026. eGOV Solutions LTD was selected for the contract at £9,745.50 including the published currency of GBP. The awarded contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 24 August 2026. The wider requirement was valued at £9,745.50 and identified a contract period from 1 August 2026 to 1 August 2028, while the recorded award period ends on 24 August 2026. The tender deadline was 25 June 2026 at 13:00. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No lots are recorded, and the procurement record does not set out an award scoring basis.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for a specialist cloud attendance platform serving a local authority virtual school and Children in Care. A credible future competitor would need software that captures attendance from multiple education providers through both automated integrations and manual entry, including settings that use different or limited information systems. The service should provide near-real-time monitoring, clear attendance reporting, pattern analysis and alerts or workflows that help staff intervene quickly when absence concerns emerge. Strong auditability and reliable record keeping are central, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate secure, accurate data handling and reporting suitable for public-sector oversight. The requirement is narrowly focused on attendance monitoring rather than wider virtual-school case management or electronic Personal Education Plans. The framework call-off route also favours suppliers already able to provide compliant cloud software through G-Cloud.
