## Summary

The London Borough of Tower Hamlets has initiated a procurement process for the project titled "CS6098 - Children in Care PEP and Attendance Monitoring", seeking submissions from government-approved providers. This is an open procedure under the services category, focusing on Health and Social Work Services. The tender aims to implement a digital solution for monitoring the attendance and personal education plans of children in care, aligning with Ofsted expectations. Located in London, the contract period is set to begin on 7th September 2026 and end on 6th October 2029, with a potential one-year extension. The procurement is in the tender stage, with the tender period concluding on 17th August 2026.

This tender presents a compelling opportunity for businesses specialising in digital educational solutions, data analytics, and secure web platforms. Businesses with expertise in delivering compliance with UK government standards and meeting Department for Education requirements will find this contract particularly suitable. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, as they are expressly considered suitable, and the focus on quality, price, and social value offers multiple avenues for competitive advantage. The success of the solution lies in bridging a critical gap in pupil outcome tracking, therefore, businesses that can effectively integrate advanced analytics and engagement tracking will stand a strong chance in the competitive bidding process.

## Notice

Submissions are invited from government approved providers for a comprehensive digital solution that: * Provides real-time attendance monitoring and same-day absence verification for children in the council's care. * A web solution that enables the co-creation and management of Personal Education Plans (PEPs) within a secure, collaborative portal for staff, carers and social workers. * Delivers analytics, strategic dashboards, and longitudinal outcome tracking (attendance, engagement, attainment, progress) aligned to Ofsted expectations and Virtual School statutory duties. * Meets DfE approval/authorisation requirements and all relevant UK government standards for access, security and data protection. The solution must demonstrably support the Virtual School's statutory responsibilities for looked-after children (LAC) and extend to related cohorts (e.g., children with a social worker, kinship) as the remit evolves. Current provision offers attendance tracking and PEP creation with dashboards, but pupil outcome tracking is a critical gap and is largely manual; bidders must address this gap explicitly.
