## Summary

North Yorkshire Council is buying optional Pendulum and Broadcast software modules for Nexus, a secure, cloud-based education data management platform used by public sector organisations in the National Consortium for Examination Results (NCER). NCER collates education metrics and comparator data. Nexus supports collection, validation, analysis and reporting of that data, and secure information-sharing between local authorities and schools. The modules add functionality for sharing information with schools and are separate from the Nexus access included in NCER membership. The procurement is for software and information systems. Delivery is in North Yorkshire, England.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Angel Solutions Ltd. It was a below-threshold direct award without competition. The award is valued at £64,132 excluding VAT (£76,958 including VAT). The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 30 October 2029, with one optional 12-month extension, which could extend the period to 30 October 2030. The procurement was a single lot, marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The published award has pending status; no award date is recorded in the process data.

This purchase shows demand from North Yorkshire Council for specialist education-data software that integrates with the Nexus platform and enhances secure information-sharing with schools. A credible competitor would need to provide modules that work with Nexus, support reliable exchange of information between local authorities and schools, and meet public-sector expectations for handling education data securely. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate practical functionality for education data and a clear fit with NCER’s comparator-data environment. The opportunity was awarded directly without competition, and NCER membership already includes Nexus access; the additional modules require a separate supplier agreement. This points to the importance of established platform compatibility and a defined, additional capability rather than a replacement for the core service.

## Notice

North Yorkshire Council, along with other Local Authorities and government departments, holds membership with the National Consortium for Examination Results (NCER), a not-for-profit organisation that collates education-related metrics and benchmark comparator data for use across the public sector. The supplier hosts and maintains Nexus for NCER, a secure, cloud-based education data management platform used by public sector organisations to collect, validate, analyse and report on the comparator education data provided by NCER. The platform also facilitates the secure sharing of information between Local Authorities and schools. Access to Nexus is included within the membership with NCER. The supplier offers optional modules, including Pendulum and Broadcast, which provide enhanced functionality for sharing information with schools. These modules are available at an additional cost, require a separate agreement with the supplier, and are dependent upon continued access to the Nexus platform.
