Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Isle of Wight Council, through its Virtual School, procured a digital software solution for Personal Education Plans and attendance monitoring. The system supports the creation, updating and secure storage of PEPs for children in care, alongside real-time monitoring of school attendance for children in care and children who have been open to a social worker. It is intended to improve data accuracy, support reporting and compliance with Department for Education statutory and non-statutory duties, and strengthen communication between schools, social care staff and the Virtual School team. This is a software and information systems requirement, delivered for the Isle of Wight, with the council as buyer.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award. Stat Solutions Ltd was selected on 31 July 2026 for £105,000, with a contract running from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender submission deadline was 30 July 2026 at 23:59. The requirement was treated as goods and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Evaluation was conducted for a direct award rather than through an open competition. The award is active and covers the complete digital PEP and attendance-monitoring solution for the Isle of Wight Council’s Virtual School and its associated education, social care and school stakeholders.

This award demonstrates a defined public-sector need for specialist education and social-care software that can manage sensitive child-level information securely and allow authorised users to collaborate effectively. Suppliers competing for a future requirement of this type would need a reliable, user-friendly PEP workflow, accurate real-time attendance data, reporting aligned with Department for Education duties, and practical integration into the work of schools, social care teams and a Virtual School. Strong information governance, dependable system performance, clear auditability and accessible support would be important credibility factors. The requirement was identified as suitable for an SME, so a focused software provider with relevant education or children’s services experience could be well placed, either independently or with delivery partners.
