Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Haringey procured continued provision, hosting, support, maintenance and licensing of the Synergy Family Information System and Early Years (FIS & EY). This software supports the Council’s Education Management System for Early Years and Family Information Service functions, including childcare applications, eligibility assessments, funded childcare places, provider returns, payments, statutory reporting and public information. The requirement covers the full lifecycle of childcare entitlement administration and accurate record-keeping. It is an information technology software maintenance service (CPV 72267100). Delivery covers the English regions of the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, using the YPO Software Application Solutions Framework, Lot 11. The award date was 1 September 2026. Access UK Ltd was selected as the supplier, with one bid received. The active contract was signed on 1 September 2026 for £116,152.80 including the stated contract value currency of GBP. Evaluation was based on price. The requirement was arranged as one lot, with an option to extend provision for 12 months if required. The award relates to the continued software service for Haringey’s Early Years and Family Information Service functions.

This procurement demonstrates demand from a local authority for a mature, end-to-end system supporting childcare entitlement administration and family information services. Suppliers targeting a future requirement of this type would need to provide dependable hosted software, ongoing maintenance, licensing and user support, together with functionality for applications, eligibility assessment, funded-place administration, provider data returns, payment processing, statutory reporting and public-facing information. Credibility would also depend on maintaining accurate records and supporting statutory and operational processes across a broad geographic service footprint. Experience supplying education management, early years or family information systems, and the capacity to provide stable long-term support, would position a competitor for similar work with this buyer.
