UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hertfordshire County Council procured support for headteachers dealing with crisis. This is an education support service, classified under education and training services. The requirement is focused on helping headteachers manage crisis situations; no further service components are described. Delivery is in Hertfordshire, England. The council is the buying organisation, and the contract is with L Osborne Education Support, a small business. The procurement was arranged as one lot, covering the support service as a single requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to L Osborne Education Support. Hertfordshire County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2027, with an option to extend for a further year subject to available funding, up to 31 March 2028. The contract value is £72,000 gross. The award is active and the contract is active. The process was divided into one lot. The source records do not set out specific eligibility requirements or evaluation criteria.

This award shows demand from Hertfordshire County Council for specialist support to headteachers dealing with crisis. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable experience supporting school leaders through crisis situations, with the judgement and communication skills to work effectively with headteachers. The work is a focused education support service rather than a broad training programme, so relevant practical expertise and the ability to provide targeted assistance are central to competing. The council used a limited competition for this below-threshold service, and the selected provider is a small business, indicating that a specialist supplier can deliver the requirement without being a large organisation. The service has a defined term and a possible extension dependent on funding, so suppliers should be able to sustain delivery over the contract period.
