The buying organisation is the Department for Education, headquartered in London, UK. This tender falls within the services category, specifically focusing on education and training services, and was conducted under a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was awarded on 11th May 2026 with an overall value of £2,734,870.79. Although the procurement stage is now complete, it should be noted that the delivery of services will involve collaboration with local authorities and Regional Adoption Agencies across the UK.
