UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Together for Children Sunderland Limited has procured an education, health and care plan (EHCP) software solution. The requirement is for an industry-specific software package to support EHCP-related work; the published scope does not describe particular functions, implementation services or user groups. The buying organisation is Together for Children Sunderland Limited, based in Sunderland. The software is for delivery in Sunderland, England. This is a single-lot procurement, covering the EHCP solution as one requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Invision Services Limited. The buyer used a direct award below the public procurement threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 14 September 2026 and runs from 14 September 2026 to 13 September 2027, with an option for one further 12-month extension, potentially extending the term to 13 September 2028. The contract value is £119,000 excluding VAT (£142,800 including VAT). The award data identifies one supplier and one lot. No evaluation criteria are recorded for this direct award.

This award shows that Together for Children Sunderland Limited buys specialist software to support education, health and care plans, with the requirement delivered in Sunderland. The selected supplier, Invision Services Limited, is a small or medium-sized enterprise, demonstrating that a smaller software provider was selected for this requirement. A credible competitor when comparable EHCP software is next considered would need a product suited to the EHCP context and the capacity to supply and support it over a substantial contract term, including a possible extension. The procurement was awarded directly without competition, so the published process gives no evidence of competitive evaluation criteria or specific technical requirements against which to position a product. Suppliers focused on EHCP software are the closest fit; general software capability alone may not establish relevance.
