## Summary

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council procured an attendance monitoring service intended to enable data sharing between two cohorts and support analytics and dashboards already in place. The work is classified as services and concerns software and information systems. Delivery is in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, in Yorkshire and the Humber. The requirement centres on connecting attendance data across the cohorts and making it usable within the council’s existing analytical tools; the stated scope does not describe additional system development or operational support. The selected supplier, Welfare Call Group Ltd, is based in Barnsley.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Welfare Call Group Ltd through a direct award. The award was made on 6 April 2026, at a value of £85,935. The awarded contract period runs from 6 April 2026 to 6 April 2030. The tender’s stated service period is 13–14 October 2026, which differs from the period recorded for the award. The council’s estimated procurement value was also £85,935. The stated tender deadline was 12 October 2026. The process was not divided into lots. Its stated suitability information excludes SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria are recorded in the process information.

For suppliers considering similar attendance-monitoring requirements from Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council, this award shows demand for a service that can share data between two cohorts and feed analytics and dashboards already in place. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate that its service can connect relevant attendance data across groups and work with the buyer’s existing analytical environment. The buyer selected a large supplier through a direct award, and the procurement marked the requirement as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. This indicates a requirement directed towards providers able to deliver an established attendance-monitoring service at organisational scale, rather than a small standalone analytics product. Experience integrating data across cohorts and supporting existing reporting tools would be directly relevant.
