Summary of the contracting process

Pembrokeshire County Council has completed a procurement process titled "PCC Reading Improvement Strategy," aimed at enhancing the reading capabilities of students in all maintained schools within Pembrokeshire. The contract was awarded to Renaissance Products & Services to provide access to the New Group Reading Test (NGRT) platform, along with reporting dashboards, group analysis tools, and SEN/ALN diagnostic features. This procurement falls under the services category and was conducted via a direct method, below the threshold without competition. The contract commenced on 1st September 2026 and will run until 31st August 2027, with a total gross value of £50,251.18.

This tender presents an opportunity for suppliers who specialise in educational services and software solutions, particularly those capable of delivering integrated testing and analytics platforms for educational institutions. While the direct award process limits immediate opportunities for competition, similar future initiatives may be beneficial for businesses looking to expand their service offerings within local government education sectors. Suppliers with expertise in software package development and educational services in the UK, especially those focusing on innovative assessment tools, will find this sector promising for growth and collaboration with public authorities.
