Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Staffordshire County Council has commissioned flexible support services for children and young people in education settings and communities across Cannock, East Staffordshire, Tamworth, Lichfield, South Staffordshire, Stafford, Newcastle-under-Lyme and Staffordshire Moorlands. The framework covers three service areas: targeted intervention programmes, skill development, and specialist support. Provision is aimed mainly at children and young people who cannot engage positively with education, either individually or in groups. Some services also support education settings, parents, carers and families. The council intends to call off quality-assured services when required, aligned with its priority outcomes and commissioning priorities. The work is classified principally as education and training services, with an additional health and social work services classification, and falls within the services category.

This procurement is complete and has resulted in an active award under an open, above-threshold procedure. The original tender deadline was 11 March 2024 at 12:00. The award was made on 4 March 2026 to Spark to your success for £29,852. The awarded contract runs from 9 March 2026 to 31 March 2026. The wider procurement was valued at £67,316.94, and the arrangement concerns call-off contracts made under the flexible framework. The published award identifies one supplier and does not set out a separate award basis beyond the open procedure. Staffordshire County Council is the buyer. The framework’s three lots are Targeted Intervention Programmes, Skill Development and Specialist Support.

This award indicates demand from Staffordshire County Council for providers able to deliver practical support to children and young people who struggle to engage positively with education. Relevant suppliers would need capability to work both in education settings and community environments, providing interventions individually and in groups. Experience supporting education settings, parents, carers and families would also be relevant where services extend beyond direct work with young people. The requirement spans targeted intervention, skills development and specialist support, so organisations should be clear about the service area in which they can demonstrate competence. The appointed provider is an SME, showing that the requirement can suit smaller organisations. The framework also identifies SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises as suitable supplier types.
