Summary of the contracting process

Stockton on Tees Borough Council concluded a procurement process titled "Mentor Software", aimed at enhancing compliance, operational oversight, and care planning within its residential children's homes. The procurement falls under the software package and information systems industry category, classified as goods, and is located in the UKC1 region of the United Kingdom. The process reached completion in the Award stage, and the contract was signed on the 6th of January, 2026, with an operative duration from the 1st of February, 2026 to the 31st of January, 2029.
