Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hackney commissioned a Systemic and Trauma Informed Short Course Programme for up to 300 family-facing staff and managers in its Children and Education Directorate. The programme includes Anti-Racist Practice as an embedded element. This is a professional training and adult education service, covering the design and delivery of learning intended for practitioners and managers working with families and children. The contracting authority is the London Borough of Hackney, with delivery in Hackney and the wider London area. The requirement was arranged as a single service lot and forms part of the council’s workforce development activity for its children and education services.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Social Matters Ltd. It used a below-threshold route and covered one lot. The contract was signed on 23 June 2026, began on 1 July 2026 and runs to 31 December 2027, with an option to extend for one year to a maximum end date of 31 May 2028. The contract value is £137,391.67 excluding VAT and £164,870 including VAT. The contract is active. The award covers adult education and training services for the systemic and trauma-informed short course programme, with Anti-Racist Practice embedded within the training. Social Matters Ltd is the selected supplier for the full requirement.

This procurement indicates demand from Hackney for specialist workforce training that combines systemic practice, trauma-informed approaches and anti-racist practice rather than offering these as separate subjects. Suppliers best placed for comparable work would be able to design and deliver structured short courses for family-facing practitioners and managers, understand the operational context of children’s and education services, and train groups at a substantial organisational scale. Credible providers would also need demonstrable subject expertise, experienced facilitators and the ability to embed anti-racist practice throughout course content and delivery. Social Matters Ltd is recorded as an SME, showing that this type of council training requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist provider rather than only by a large training organisation.
