## Summary

Herefordshire Council has awarded a contract for an Alternative Provision Portal aimed at managing attendance, referrals, reviews, and quality assurance. This procurement, located in Hereford, falls under the software package and information systems category, and was handled through a direct procurement method, categorised as below threshold without competition.
