Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hackney procured a multi-user licence for the Solihull Approach online Parenting Programme and Practitioner programmes. The service provides free access through the Solihull Approach website to online parenting and professional programmes for a population of between 200,000 and 500,000 people. This is an education and training service, delivered online for users connected with Hackney. The requirement covers both parenting support and programmes for practitioners, so relevant suppliers include organisations that develop, own or administer digital learning platforms and structured family or professional education programmes. The selected provider is University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, indicating that the buyer accepted delivery from a large NHS foundation trust for this specialist online education service.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Hackney used a direct award below the applicable threshold and without competition. University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust was awarded the single lot, and the contract was signed on 21 July 2026. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 March 2029, with a maximum possible end date of 31 March 2030 because the buyer reserved a one-year renewal. The awarded contract value is £41,975 gross, in GBP. The contract is active and the award is active. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, with the selected supplier providing the Solihull Approach multi-user licence.

This award shows a defined requirement for digital parenting and practitioner education delivered through an established online programme. A credible future competitor would need to provide an online platform capable of giving free access to a substantial population, together with content covering both parenting and professional users. Relevant capability includes ownership or authorised administration of a recognised parenting-support programme, secure management of multi-user access, and the ability to make learning resources available at scale. Suppliers with experience delivering structured education and training services to public-sector, health or community users would be well placed. The requirement also demonstrates that Hackney may use a direct, below-threshold route for a specialist licence, so providers should be able to offer a clearly defined product and demonstrate authority to supply it.
