## Summary

Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council procured a digital Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) drafting tool. The service covers software to support the drafting and quality assurance of EHCPs for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). It includes an educational software package, software supply and software implementation services. This is a technology and digital service requirement for a council managing statutory education, health and care planning. The awarded supplier is Imosphere Ltd, a small and medium-sized enterprise based in Loughborough. The requirement is delivered in the United Kingdom and is for the council’s EHCP and SEND-related activity.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Imosphere Ltd under a below-threshold limited competition. The award was made on 11 August 2026 for one lot. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026 and runs from 11 August 2026 to 10 August 2028. Its value is £52,200 excluding VAT, or £62,640 including VAT. The procurement used a limited procedure rather than an open competition. The published outcome identifies the council as buyer and Imosphere Ltd as the active awarded supplier. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition, with the award covering the EHCP drafting tool, its supply and implementation services.

This outcome indicates established public-sector demand for specialist digital tools supporting EHCP drafting and quality assurance within SEND services. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would need a software product that supports structured EHCP preparation, quality controls and the practical workflows of education, health and care planning. Credible competitors would also need to provide implementation services alongside software supply, including the capability to configure, introduce and support the tool for a council service. Experience delivering education, health or social-care technology would help demonstrate understanding of statutory planning, multi-agency working and sensitive personal information. The requirement is suitable for a focused software provider or technology SME able to combine a relevant product with reliable implementation capability.
