## Summary

City of Doncaster Council has completed the procurement process for the provision of software services for Children and Young People's Services (CYPF). The contract involves a seven-month initiative aimed at facilitating the national matching of South Yorkshire children with adopters, vital to the running of the adoption service due to the unavailabiliity of suitable families within the region. This procurement process was conducted via a direct method, identified under the legal basis UKPGA 2023/54, without competition and below the threshold. The contract with the sole supplier, Link Maker Systems Limited, was signed on 23 June 2025, and operational from 1 September 2025 to 31 March 2026, with a contract value of £33,403.63 gross. The procurement aligns with IT service provisions, specifically consulting, software development, and support, within the service category and is located in the Doncaster region (UKE31).

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialised in IT services, particularly those involved in consulting, software development, and internet support. Even though this procurement did not involve competition, it highlights a segment where businesses with expertise in creating digital solutions for the public sector may find future avenues for collaboration. While this specific contract was awarded directly due to the unique positioning of the supplier, businesses that can innovate within the public sector and offer similar software solutions might enhance their offerings to appeal to councils like Doncaster, or similar government entities requiring tailored software solutions to address social service challenges.
