## Summary

Cambridgeshire County Council procured an online system to help match children with prospective adoptive parents. The service supports adoption matching and is classified as children’s welfare services. Delivery is intended across England, covering the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. This is a single service requirement for the council, rather than a set of separately described service lots.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded directly without competition under a below-threshold procedure. LINK MAKER SYSTEMS LIMITED was selected. The contract was signed on 30 September 2026 and runs from 20 November 2026 to 19 November 2028. Its value is £39,026. The procurement covered one lot. No evaluation criteria or eligibility conditions are recorded in the available process details, so the basis for selecting the supplier cannot be described further.

This award demonstrates demand from Cambridgeshire County Council for a specialist digital service that helps match children with adoptive parents, with delivery across England. A future competitor would need to offer a functioning online matching system suited to adoption services and capable of supporting work across multiple English regions. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that a provider of this scale has delivered the requirement. The procurement used a direct, non-competitive route, so this award does not establish what criteria the council would apply in a future competition; suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate that their system meets the council’s adoption-matching needs.
