Summary of the contracting process

The contract, titled "CfSSW Systemic Programme 2025", was awarded as part of Stockton on Tees Borough Council's initiative to implement a new practice model in Children's Services. Supported by the Department for Education, this project aims to enhance systemic practice and training. The procurement process, identified as a direct method below threshold and without competition, resulted in the award being completed. The contract spans from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2028, and involves information technology services with a total value of £146,420.40. The location of the services falls within the UKC11 region, with the main procurement category being services. This tender, although complete, reflects a significant move by Stockton on Tees Borough Council towards innovation within public authority-sub central government services.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses involved in providing information technology services, particularly those capable of delivering specialised training systems in support of systemic practice models. While the procurement was conducted directly and below the financial threshold, the awarded contract to the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea suggests an opportunity for large-scale suppliers with established government partnerships to engage in similar future projects. Companies with expertise in educational training systems and government contract experience will find this sector particularly ripe for growth and collaboration, especially considering the financial backing from government entities such as the DfE.
