## Summary

The procurement process was initiated by the City of Doncaster Council for the provision of a Foster Carer Online Training Platform. This contract falls under the education and training services industry category and is located in Doncaster, United Kingdom. The procurement was conducted by direct award below the threshold without competition, reflecting specialised requirements and limited competing alternatives. The process has reached the award stage, with the contract signed on 28th March 2025. It covers the period from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, with an option for a 12-month extension. This strategic partnership leverages the expertise of Flourish Learning Ltd, ensuring continuity and a low-risk approach to service delivery.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in educational platforms, particularly those adept at providing niche and tailored training solutions. SMEs with capabilities in fostering service technology can find a competitive edge due to the specialised nature of the contract requirements. Companies that focus on creating, maintaining, and evolving digital platforms may explore future opportunities with the Council as they consider developing their own platform solution in the coming years. This engagement highlights prospects for businesses that are capable of providing innovative solutions while ensuring compliance with public sector regulations and objectives.

## Notice

The service area has explored alternatives, however given the niche nature of the training platform and the specialised requirements of the fostering service, other options are limited. Building a new platform internally is deemed resource intensive at this time but will be explored further in 12 months. Retaining the current incumbent provider is the most feasible and low risk option.
