UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Pembrokeshire County Council procured access to the New Group Reading Test (NGRT) platform for all maintained schools in Pembrokeshire. The service covers the platform itself, reporting dashboards, group analysis tools and diagnostic features for special educational needs and additional learning needs (SEN/ALN). This is an education software and assessment service, rather than a school construction, staffing or general training requirement. Delivery is across Pembrokeshire, for use by the council’s maintained schools. Businesses relevant to this requirement include suppliers of digital reading assessments, education technology platforms, pupil-performance reporting tools and systems that support analysis of attainment and additional learning needs.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. One lot was completed. Pembrokeshire County Council awarded the contract to Renaissance Products & Services on 27 July 2026; the contract was signed on the same date. The award value is £41,875.98 excluding VAT, or £50,251.18 including VAT. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The selected supplier is Renaissance Products & Services, based in Brentford. The procurement was classified as services, covering software and information systems and education and training services, with delivery in Pembrokeshire.

This award shows a defined requirement for a scalable reading-assessment platform serving every maintained school in one local-authority area. A credible future competitor would need to provide reliable access to the NGRT platform, support school-wide use and turn assessment results into practical reporting. Important capabilities include dashboards for decision-makers, group-level analysis for comparing cohorts or identifying needs, and diagnostic functions relevant to pupils with SEN or ALN. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate education-sector software expertise, dependable implementation and user support, and the capacity to serve multiple schools consistently. Providers combining assessment content with clear analytical tools are the closest commercial fit for this buyer’s requirement.
