## Summary

The contracting process, managed by North Lanarkshire Council, aims to deliver an Education Web Filtering Solution in the UKM84 region. This process, which falls under the 'General public services' industry category, has progressed to the award stage with the contract being signed on 29th May 2025. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, and it involved tendering for goods. The project, which has significant implications for IT policy enforcement within local authorities, ensures compliance with the PREVENT duty guidance from the Scottish Government and the UK Safer Internet Centre. North Lanarkshire Council, with its legal office in Motherwell, facilitated the process.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for large IT service providers capable of delivering sophisticated cloud-based web filtering solutions. Businesses that focus on digital workplace solutions, particularly those looking to partner through framework agreements like the NHS SBS Digital Workplace Solutions Framework, may find valuable growth potential here. Although only one bid was received, indicating a niche market with specialized needs, the successful award to Softcat Plc underscores the scale required for participation. Consequently, companies with advanced technological capabilities and compliance with digital safety regulations can leverage this opportunity to expand their market presence within educational digital infrastructure.
