## Summary

Northumberland County Council purchased a digital training software package promoting the Solihull Approach. The package is intended to support parenting across the 0–19 age range and contribute to the council’s Family Hub activity, recently rebranded as Togetherness. This is a specialist digital learning and family-support requirement rather than general IT supply. The subject matter is relevant to organisations providing evidence-based parenting education, digital training content, family-support programmes or related public-sector learning services. The buying organisation is Northumberland County Council, based in Morpeth. The selected supplier is University Hospitals Birmingham FT, based at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham. The requirement is centred on supporting the council’s family hubs and their services for families with children and young people from birth to age 19.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition, with one completed lot. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its gross value is £30,600, in GBP. University Hospitals Birmingham FT was selected as the supplier. The procurement category is goods, with the item classified as a training software package (CPV 48931000). The purchase was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The arrangement covers a single digital training package promoting the Solihull Approach, for use in supporting parenting and Family Hub activity across the 0–19 age range.

This award indicates demand from Northumberland County Council for a defined digital parenting-training product linked to the Solihull Approach and Family Hub delivery. A credible future competitor would need access to, or expertise in, high-quality digital training content that supports parenting from birth through age 19. Relevant capability includes designing or supplying online learning packages, presenting evidence-based approaches clearly, and making content suitable for use by family-support professionals and parents. Experience of working with councils, Family Hubs, NHS organisations or comparable public services would help demonstrate understanding of the operating environment. Suppliers should also be able to show that their product can support consistent delivery at council scale and align with the Togetherness branding and wider family-support objectives.
