## Summary

The procurement process involves Doncaster Children's Services Trust Limited, seeking a system aimed at increasing placement choice for children and enhancing data collaboration. This tender, classified under social work services (CPV code: 85300000), is currently in the Award stage and was awarded on 1st March 2021. The procurement method used was a limited process, specifically an award procedure without prior publication, due to the technical necessity of a single supplier. The value of the contract is £21,581.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in software development and social work services, particularly those with expertise in industry-specific applications. Companies that provide solutions to enhance collaborative data usage and placement choices in child services would find themselves well-positioned to compete in this niche market. As the contract is currently active with Link Maker Systems Ltd as the awarded supplier, this scenario indicates the potential for future similar projects as the buyer continues to seek innovative solutions within the sector.
