UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process is managed by Stockton on Tees Borough Council, located in Thornaby, United Kingdom, under the title "CfSSW Systemic Programme 2025." The industry category is services, focusing on Information Technology services, with a specific emphasis on delivering training as part of the Children's Service improvement initiative. The procurement process is completed using the direct procurement method due to being below threshold without competition. The contract was originally signed on 1 April 2025 and is set to conclude on 31 March 2028, representing a significant commitment to systemic practice supported by the Department for Education. The final value of the contract is GBP 122,017, though it encountered a termination event on 20 April 2026 due to a notice being published to the incorrect supplier.

This tender presents opportunities for growth for businesses involved in IT services, particularly those specialising in training and practice model delivery for public sector entities. The existing relationship mandated by the Department for Education indicates preference for suppliers capable of tailoring solutions to governmental needs. Large firms with experience delivering complex service solutions in the United Kingdom are likely to be well-suited. Due to the unique circumstances of contract termination and redirection, businesses ready to respond promptly to corrections or re-competitions might find beneficial entry points within this procurement sphere.
