Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council intends to replace its manual training booking and administration process with a digital platform for foster carers, kinship carers, adoptive parents and supported lodgings carers. The system is intended to let these users access, book and manage training through a user-friendly, mobile-friendly service. This is a software and training-management services requirement, including booking and administration functionality. Delivery is for Fife Council in Fife, Scotland. The council is the buying organisation.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Fife Council has stated its intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. The council expects to publish a further notice on 1 April 2027; this is an indicative future notice date, not a bid deadline. The contract duration is currently unknown. The planning information asks for indicative annual pricing, rather than a total contract price. The requirement is presented as one planned lot. No procurement procedure, bid evaluation basis or eligibility conditions are set out at this stage.

The requirement is likely to suit software suppliers able to design, configure or supply accessible, mobile-friendly digital services for training administration and booking. Relevant experience could include user-centred platform design, online training catalogues, booking workflows and tools that allow users to manage their own training activity. Suppliers should be prepared to show how a solution can serve foster carers, kinship carers, adoptive parents and supported lodgings carers, and replace a manual process with a straightforward digital service. The council is seeking indicative annual pricing, so suppliers considering the future procurement can begin developing a clear recurring-cost model. The stated scope does not set out particular accreditations or capacity thresholds.
