## Summary

The procurement process involves Doncaster Children's Services Trust Limited, which is seeking a system to enhance placement choice for children and improve data use and collaboration. This tender falls within the social work and related services category and was awarded directly to Link Maker Systems Limited due to low value and the absence of competitive suppliers. The contract, valued at £34,341, was signed on 21st February 2022 and is currently active, having bypassed the standard competitive tendering methods.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in software solutions and information technology services, particularly those focused on social protection systems. Given that the procurement was conducted through a limited award procedure, it indicates a niche market where competition is limited. Businesses that can efficiently deliver similar services or are agile enough to adapt to the needs of social services would be well-suited to engage in such contracts in the future.
