## Summary

The Tees Valley Combined Authority has completed the procurement process for a case management system titled "Connect to Work Youth Guarantee Trailblazer." This contract, awarded on 15th April 2026, involves the provision of software supply services within the services category. The procurement method used was limited competition, targeted as below threshold, with the contract valued at £108,000.0 gross. The project location is primarily within the UKC1 region of the United Kingdom, specifically at Teesside Airport Business Suite, Darlington, with services expected from 14th April 2026 until 31st March 2028. The contract has been awarded to Cognisoft Ltd, a large company based in Cheshire, indicating the completion stage of this procurement process.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in software supply services. With a focus on case management systems for youth guarantees, this contract encourages service providers to innovate and tailor solutions for youth employment and support programmes. Businesses equipped with scalable, adaptable technological solutions, especially those with expertise in software and digital solutions, are poised to benefit from such opportunities. However, it appears that, in this instance, no SME or VCSE bids reached the final stage, which suggests potential for smaller or community-focused enterprises to seek similar future tenders tailored to engage more diverse competitors.
