Summary of the contracting process

Lancashire County Council has recently completed a public procurement process titled "EPEP for CLA for the Virtual School." This process falls under the services industry category, specifically involving data collection, collation services, and health and social work services. The council, located in Preston, UK, has awarded the contract to Welfare Call (LAC) Limited. This tender process followed a limited procurement method and was below the threshold with limited competition. Key dates include the contract start on 1st April 2026 and its conclusion on 31st March 2028, with the contract having been signed on 27th March 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in electronic personal education planning, especially those specialising in data management and social services for children looked after (CLA). Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in data collection and health services might find this sector rewarding. As the process involved limited competition, future similar tenders could offer further chances for firms to engage with sub-central government bodies like the Lancashire County Council and promote innovative solutions in public service delivery.
