Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the project titled "Welfare Call - Attendance and Attainment Monitoring" was managed by Sheffield City Council, targeting the IT services industry, specifically focusing on consulting, software development, Internet, and support. This service is intended to provide Attendance Monitoring Service (AMS) and an Electronic Personal Education Plan (EPEP) for Looked After Children in Sheffield, located in the region of UKE. The procurement method used was a limited method, classified as an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. This tender reached the award stage, but was ultimately unsuccessful with the procurement stage concluding without awarding a contract as of 14 July 2026.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those with capabilities in education technology and monitoring systems, to potentially collaborate with regional authorities like Sheffield City Council in future opportunities. While this particular process did not result in a contract award, businesses that can demonstrate the ability to meet specialised criteria similar to those outlined via G-Cloud may find future procedures more receptive. Companies that focus on regional public service systems, as well as those accustomed to providing bespoke monitoring solutions for educational settings, would be well-suited to compete for similar tenders that could arise in this sector.
