Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process centres around Hertfordshire County Council's initiative titled "My Teen Brain Online Training." This complete procurement pertains to the service industry, specifically focusing on education and training services, under a light-touch regime. The buying organisation, Hertfordshire County Council, located in Hertford, United Kingdom, did not pursue a competitive process due to the below-threshold procurement method. The procurement commenced on 1st April 2025 and will run until 31st March 2027, with a possible one-year extension. Notably, the contract, valued at £42,900, was awarded to The Centre for Emotional Health, a large-scale and VCSE organisation based in Oxford.

This tender opens up opportunities for businesses focusing on educational technology and online training services tailored to public sector needs. Businesses that excel in educational content delivery, especially those with expertise in cognitive and emotional youth development, stand to benefit significantly. The light-touch procurement regime indicates a potentially less complex process for qualified providers to engage in future opportunities with sub-central government entities. As such, businesses with capability in digital educational programmes and a track record of working with local authorities may find strategic growth opportunities in similar contracts.
