Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Torbey Council has awarded a contract for the development of an Electronic Personal Education Plan (ePEP) Management System, specifically aimed at enhancing educational outcomes for Looked After Children. This industry-specific software package falls under the category of services, with a procurement method that involved a selective approach, utilising a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to eGOV Solutions LTD on 8th July 2026, valued at £28,350. The system will be implemented in the South West region of England, with the contract period scheduled to begin on 1st September 2026 and conclude on 1st September 2029. This procurement process, currently in the award stage, highlights Torbay Council’s commitment to supporting the academic monitoring of vulnerable students.

This tender presents significant growth potential for businesses specialising in educational technology and software development, particularly those meeting the criteria for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Companies that provide innovative software solutions tailored to educational needs and have experience with framework agreements are well-suited for similar opportunities in the future. The involvement of a framework agreement suggests ongoing relationships and recurring opportunities, making it an attractive prospect for tech firms looking to expand their footprint in the educational sector while supporting local authorities.
