UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Sutton procured the Pan London School Admissions Service, a service supporting coordinated school admissions across London. The scope covers customer support, hardware support, an admissions hub, hosting services, business and technical process support, infrastructure support and general services. This is primarily an administrative educational service, including the operation and support of systems used to manage admissions. The work is delivered in Sutton, London, for the London Borough of Sutton. It suits organisations providing managed technology and operational services for public-sector education, particularly those able to combine admissions-system support with hosting, infrastructure, technical processes and user-facing assistance. The requirement spans both digital service delivery and practical support for the systems and users involved.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot was awarded to LONDON GRID FOR LEARNING TRUST, whose award is active. The award date was 1 April 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029. Its gross value is £47,420. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, and the published outcome identifies administrative educational services as the awarded category. The contracting authority is the London Borough of Sutton. The contract is below the relevant threshold, and the procurement status is complete, so this record concerns an agreed supplier and contract rather than an opportunity to submit a bid.

This procurement indicates a defined need for an integrated school-admissions support service within London local government. Competitors seeking similar work would need credible capability across customer support, hardware support, hosted applications, infrastructure operations, and business and technical process support, rather than a single isolated IT function. Experience supporting admissions or other education administration systems would help demonstrate understanding of sensitive, time-dependent public services and their users. A credible provider would also need to manage both routine service operations and technical problem-solving across the admissions hub and its supporting infrastructure. The awarded supplier is an SME, showing that this requirement can be delivered by a specialist organisation with the necessary service breadth, operational capacity and public-sector education focus.
