What the notice says
A comprehensive digital solution that:
• Provides real-time attendance monitoring and same-day absence verification for children in the council's care.
• A web solution that enables the co-creation and management of Personal Education Plans (PEPs) within a secure, collaborative portal for staff, carers and social workers.
• Delivers analytics, strategic dashboards, and longitudinal outcome tracking (attendance, engagement, attainment, progress) aligned to Ofsted expectations and Virtual School statutory duties.
• Meets DfE approval/authorisation requirements and all relevant UK government standards for access, security and data protection.
The solution must demonstrably support the Virtual School's statutory responsibilities for looked-after children (LAC) and extend to related cohorts (e.g., children with a social worker, kinship) as the remit evolves. Current provision offers attendance tracking and PEP creation with dashboards, but pupil outcome tracking is a critical gap and is largely
manual; bidders must address this gap explicitly.
