## Summary

Middlesbrough Council purchased WellComm digital licences and early-years reporting packages for its Family Hubs. WellComm is a speech and language screening and intervention toolkit intended to help identify preschool and primary-school children with language barriers early, so they can receive appropriate support. The purchase covers full digital individual and childminder annual licences, together with three Early Years reporting packages. This is an education and training service for use in Middlesbrough.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Renaissance Learning UK Limited. Middlesbrough Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award covered one lot. The contract was signed on 9 July 2026 and runs from 17 July 2026 to 31 March 2029. Its value is £54,262.50 excluding VAT (£65,115 including VAT). The stated purpose is to provide WellComm licences and reporting packages; the award information records education and training services. The published procurement information does not set out an evaluation basis beyond the non-competitive direct award.

For suppliers competing when Middlesbrough Council next buys this requirement, credibility will depend on providing a complete digital speech and language toolkit that supports both screening and intervention, alongside individual and childminder licensing and early-years reporting. The requirement serves Family Hubs and focuses on early identification of speech and language barriers among preschool and primary-school children. Suppliers should therefore be able to show that their product and reporting offer fits these users and supports timely identification and follow-up. The procurement was made as a direct award without competition, so the selected supplier's delivery demonstrates an established solution in this market; a future competitor would need a comparable, well-supported offer across licences and reporting rather than a standalone screening product.

## Notice

WellComm is a complete speech and language toolkit, from screening to intervention. Delayed language skills can impact learning and future success.
