Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process, handled by Portsmouth City Council, concerns the provision of online one-to-one and group tuition services aimed at supporting children and young people in local authority care. The contract, categorised under education and training services, covers the region of UKJ31 in the United Kingdom. As of February 27, 2026, the contract has been awarded with the status marked as "active". Initiated as a below-threshold tender, the procurement’s legal framework is aligned with the UKPGA 2023/54. The contracted services are set to run from April 1, 2025, until March 31, 2026, with a potential extension up to March 31, 2028, if required. The total value of this service provision is £70,000.

This tender represents an excellent opportunity for SMEs specialising in educational services to engage in contracts with public authorities. The procurement encourages innovative solutions and effective support mechanisms tailored towards the educational advancement of children facing challenges such as anxiety or attachment difficulties. As the procurement process favours small and medium-sized enterprises, businesses with expertise in education and digital platforms, particularly those offering bespoke tutoring solutions, would be well-suited to benefit from similar opportunities in the future. Adaptability and the ability to deliver targeted educational services will be key for businesses looking to leverage such contracts for growth.
