UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Department for Education, a central government authority in the United Kingdom, tasked with enhancing and maintaining the Early Years Stronger Practice Hub (EYPSH) Portal. The contract, valued at £125,760 gross, was awarded through a direct procurement method classified under 'services' and without competition as it falls below threshold. The contract, running from 13th April 2026 to 31st March 2028, with an extension option up to March 2029, focuses on education and training services across the UK. This initiative supports the digital platform's previous function for Stronger Practice Hubs, with essential system availability metrics in place to ensure consistent service delivery.

This tender presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses specialising in digital platform development and maintenance, particularly those in the SME sector. The awarded supplier, Infonote Datasystems Limited, is a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) located in Market Harborough. Companies with expertise in education and training services, and the capability to handle system maintenance for central government clients, would find such opportunities beneficial for growth. Firms should be prepared to meet the rigorous availability criteria outlined in the contract, ensuring minimal downtime and pre-arranged maintenance schedules, aligning with the Department for Education's operational requirements.
