## Summary

The procurement process for the project titled "Virtual Headsets" was conducted by Cambridgeshire County Council, located in Alconbury Weald, Huntingdon, United Kingdom. This procurement, which falls under the industry category of educational equipment and software development services, was executed through an open competition method below the threshold. The tender was officially awarded on 14th May 2026, with the contract period set from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2028, having a possible extension of up to 24 months. The initiative aimed to enhance the Cambridgeshire Virtual School's training capabilities by providing virtual reality headsets to promote trauma-aware and attachment-informed practice among professionals working with children, particularly those in care.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses involved in delivering educational technology solutions, particularly in virtual reality and immersive learning environments. SMEs like CORNERSTONE TRAINING AND SUPPORT LIMITED, who secured the contract, are ideal candidates due to the nature of the project, which involves deploying technology-enabled behavioural change tools. It also offers a platform for companies specialising in virtual reality to expand their market presence in the education and social care sectors, where there is a growing demand for innovative training solutions. The tender's focus on integrated services across Early Years, Adoption & Fostering, and the Virtual School underscores the importance of providing comprehensive and scalable solutions that enhance understanding and empathy in child care settings.

## Notice

Cambridgeshire Virtual School is a statutory service responsible for promoting the educational outcomes of Children in Care and Children Previously in Care. The service also has a wider, non-statutory remit for children who have or have had a social worker and those in kinship care. The Virtual School works with partners including Fostering and Adoption, SEND and Early Years and School Readiness in the delivery of training. The Virtual School delivers training to schools and professionals across education, social care and partner agencies, with a strong focus on trauma-aware and attachment-informed practice. The Council has identified immersive learning through Virtual Reality as an effective method to enhance understanding, empathy and reflective practice by enabling users to experience scenarios from a child's perspective.
