## Summary

Milton Keynes Council procured an attendance-monitoring service for children of statutory school age attending settings across Milton Keynes. The service supports monitoring of pupil attendance and is used across several Children’s Services teams, including Access and Sufficiency, Education Outcomes, Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, and Children’s Social Care. It is a service procurement involving educational software, classified under CPV 48190000. The requirement is relevant to suppliers providing software or managed services for school attendance tracking, monitoring and reporting, particularly where information needs to support multiple council teams. The work is for Milton Keynes Council and relates to attendance across Milton Keynes educational settings.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. Milton Keynes Council used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to Studybugs Ltd on 9 September 2026 for £105,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 13 October 2026 to 12 October 2028. The tender submission deadline was 9 September 2026 at 5pm. The requirement was identified as a services contract, with suitability for small and medium-sized enterprises. Studybugs Ltd is the sole named supplier and the award is active. The procurement’s stated classification is educational software, supporting a technology-based attendance-monitoring solution.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it demonstrates demand from Milton Keynes Council for a specialist attendance-monitoring solution serving statutory school-age pupils. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need software capable of supporting attendance oversight across Milton Keynes settings and providing useful information to several Children’s Services functions, including education outcomes, special educational needs and disabilities, access and sufficiency, and children’s social care. Suppliers should be able to deliver a dependable service rather than a narrowly isolated school tool, with the ability to support council-wide use and collaboration between teams. The opportunity is suitable for an SME, so a smaller specialist education-software or attendance-services provider could be well placed to compete when this requirement returns.

## Notice

The monitoring of attendance for children of statutory school age across Milton Keynes has been utilised widely across multiple teams in Children's Services (including Access and Sufficiency, Education Outcomes, SEND and Children's Social Care).
