The procurement process is noted as complete, with the contract starting on 1st September 2025 and concluding on 26th September 2025. The total contract value stands at GBP 45,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in social care and consulting services, particularly those operating as SMEs or with an interest in public sector frameworks. Organisations that are experienced in providing adult and children social care consultancy services would find this to be a relevant opportunity given the framework structure and the explicit focus on social research services. Being a call-off from a framework agreement, it potentially reduces the competition level, benefiting SMEs and enabling growth through repeat engagements with the District Council, thereby offering a sustainable business prospect in the public sector consultancy domain.
