Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Bromley procured services to collect, manage and report school attendance and attainment data for Children Looked After (CLA). The requirement supports monitoring of attendance, exclusions and attainment outcomes through data collection and reporting systems. It is an administrative educational service, covering information needed by the council to oversee the education experience and outcomes of looked-after children. Delivery is across England, with activity relating to children educated in English regions. The buying organisation is the London Borough of Bromley, a local authority. The contract is a single service requirement rather than a multi-lot programme, and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected provider is Welfare Call (LAC) Ltd, an SME based in Barnsley.

This procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Bromley used a below-threshold open competition. Welfare Call (LAC) Ltd was selected, and the contract was signed on 1 September 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029, with an option to extend for up to a further 24 months, subject to satisfactory performance, continuing need and council approval; the maximum stated end date is 31 August 2031. The value is £119,520 excluding VAT, or £143,424 including VAT. The tender deadline was 11 June 2026, following an enquiry deadline of 4 June 2026. Evaluation used the most economically advantageous tender: 60% price and 40% quality.

This award demonstrates an established local-authority requirement for specialist education data reporting for Children Looked After. Suppliers best placed to compete when the requirement returns will be able to collect reliable attendance, exclusion and attainment information from relevant education settings, maintain reporting systems and turn data into clear, usable monitoring outputs for council teams. Experience of looked-after children’s education, safeguarding-sensitive information handling and working across multiple English regions would make a provider credible. The buyer’s use of an open, below-threshold competition and its stated suitability for SMEs indicate that a focused specialist business could be relevant, particularly where it can evidence service quality alongside competitive pricing. The requirement is administrative educational services, rather than general school IT or teaching provision.
