Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

London Borough of Camden procured a cloud-based Children’s Education Management System: software and information systems to support the management of children’s education. The requirement was classified as goods and was intended for delivery in the United Kingdom, for a London local authority. The scope is a hosted, cloud-based system rather than a specified standalone software installation. The named buyer is London Borough of Camden, based in London. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement, indicating an internationally recognised public procurement context. The requirement was handled as a single defined package, although the associated lot is recorded as cancelled while the resulting award is active. This is relevant to software providers with products designed for children’s education administration and public-sector users.

The procurement has been awarded and the resulting contract is active. NEC Software Solutions Limited was selected as supplier. The contract value is £499,924 and it was signed on 1 July 2026. The buyer used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, relying on a procurement framework. One bid was recorded. Evaluation was based on price. The tender is recorded as complete, and the award is active. The procurement was conducted as a framework-based award rather than an openly advertised competition. The tender included an option described as 12 months, but the associated lot is recorded as cancelled; the active award and signed contract are the confirmed outcome for this process.

This procurement demonstrates demand from London Borough of Camden for a specialist cloud system supporting children’s education management, at substantial local-authority scale. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this kind would have a proven cloud software product for education administration, the capacity to support a public-sector client, and experience handling sensitive operational information relating to children and education. Competitors would also need to show that their service can be delivered reliably in a hosted environment and that their commercial model is competitive on price, since price was the stated evaluation basis. Familiarity with public-sector framework routes would be commercially important, as Camden used a framework-based limited award rather than an open call.
