Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Newham procured a software service for school-based child health screening. The system manages vision screening, hearing screening, and height and weight reporting for the National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP), and is designed to meet the programme’s operational requirements and related criteria. This is a software and information systems service rather than a supply of physical screening equipment. The buying organisation is the London Borough of Newham, with delivery associated with its Newham Dockside location in London. The requirement is relevant to suppliers providing public-sector health, education or screening software, particularly systems that support structured data collection, reporting and operational workflows across schools. It may also suit software businesses with experience of local authority or national programme requirements.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. The contract was awarded to Thomson Screening Solutions Limited on 19 June 2026 for £128,252.15 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. It was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, using GCloud 14, rather than an open standalone tender. The tender submission deadline was 13 May 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was classified as a services procurement for software and information systems, with the stated overall estimated value matching the awarded value. The award is active, and Thomson Screening Solutions Limited is the selected supplier. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while not being reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from the London Borough of Newham for specialist software supporting school vision and hearing screening and National Child Measurement Programme height and weight reporting. A credible future supplier would need a reliable system that can manage screening workflows, capture structured measurements, produce operational reports and align with NCMP requirements and related criteria. Experience delivering software to local authorities, schools, children’s health services or national screening programmes would help demonstrate understanding of the users and compliance environment. The procurement route also matters: the buyer used a GCloud 14 framework call-off, so suppliers seeking comparable work should understand framework eligibility, call-off competitions and public-sector software assurance. The awarded supplier was an SME, indicating that specialist smaller technology businesses can compete for this type of requirement.
