UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Brent commissioned a digital platform to manage and distribute school uniform vouchers to eligible families in the borough. The service covers administering the scheme, issuing vouchers and enabling their redemption through a digital system. The requirement is for a voucher platform and associated transaction-processing services, rather than the supply of school uniforms. Delivery is for Brent’s local scheme, serving eligible families in the borough. The contracting authority is the London Borough of Brent.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to EVOUCHERS LTD trading as FundingConnect. Brent used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition; the procurement was not divided into multiple lots. The contract was signed on 21 August 2026 and runs from 21 August 2026 to 20 August 2027. Its value is £111,031.67 excluding VAT (£133,238 including VAT). The award is active and the contract is active. The published information does not state evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility conditions.

For suppliers considering similar future work for Brent, this award demonstrates demand for a managed digital voucher service supporting a local-authority school uniform scheme. A credible provider would need a platform able to administer eligibility-based voucher programmes, issue vouchers to families and support their redemption, with dependable transaction processing. The service must support the operational needs of a borough-wide scheme and handle the associated user and transaction activity effectively. FundingConnect, identified as an SME, was selected through a below-threshold direct award without competition, so the published outcome does not establish a competitive evaluation model or particular accreditation requirements. Relevant experience delivering digital voucher schemes and reliable platform operations would be useful evidence of capability when a comparable requirement next arises.
