Summary of the contracting process

Hull City Council has recently completed a public procurement process for the "Best Start in Life - Evidenced Based Digital Home Learning Application" under the industry category of software-related services. This contract, valued at £100,000, was awarded to the company EasyPeasy for an initial period of three years, with options for possible extensions totaling up to two additional years. The procurement was conducted using a limited method through a mini-competition under the Government Commercial Agency framework, RM6200, focused on Artificial Intelligence Dynamic Purchasing Services. This falls under a services procurement category in the region of UKE11. The contract was signed on 22nd June 2026, marking the award stage completion of this tender process.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for companies specializing in software solutions, particularly those involved in educational or home learning applications. Businesses capable of offering an evidence-based digital platform that enhances home learning environments could greatly benefit from similar opportunities that promote educational innovation supported by regional authorities like Hull City Council. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs), particularly those with expertise in artificial intelligence services and a track record in software consultancy, support, and maintenance, would be well-placed to compete for such contracts. Engaging in such tenders could facilitate business growth through partnerships with governmental bodies looking to enhance digital learning capabilities within their constituencies.
