Summary of the contracting process

Southampton City Council, a regional authority in Southampton, United Kingdom, has completed the procurement process for "PEP Monitoring For Looked After Children". The contract falls under the education and training services category, specifically focused on services. The process followed a direct award without prior call for competition, using the Limited procurement method under the CCS G Cloud 14 RM1557.14 Lot 2 framework. eGOV Solutions Ltd was awarded the contract valued at GBP 35,700, which was signed on 29th April 2025. The procurement aimed to monitor Personal Education Plans (PEP) for looked-after children within the UK region.

This tender represents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in educational services and technology solutions. With the limited procurement approach, companies with established frameworks or existing credentials in providing education-related monitoring services could effectively compete for similar contracts. eGOV Solutions Ltd, an SME based in Cheshire, successfully secured the contract, exemplifying how businesses with specialised expertise can leverage niche opportunities within regional government contracts. This scenario showcases the potential for SMEs to partner with local authorities to deliver specialised services, thereby increasing their market footprint and fostering growth.
