Summary of the contracting process

The Crown Commercial Service initiated a procurement process titled "Provision of Social Value Development Support" under the industry category of services furnished by specialist organisations. This procurement covers a broad geographical area, including regions across the United Kingdom as well as Isle of Man, Guernsey, and Jersey. The process followed a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, and has reached the award stage with an active status as of 16 April 2025. The initial tender period concluded on 13 April 2025, and the contract is slated to begin on 14 April 2025, ending on 31 March 2026. The total value of this procurement is GBP 75,600.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for businesses providing specialist services, particularly those capable of delivering high-quality social value development support across multiple regions. While not explicitly suitable for SMEs or VCSEs, the procurement was awarded to SMARTSOURCING LIMITED, an SME, demonstrating opportunities for smaller entities capable of fulfilling the contractual requirements. Companies well-versed in delivering comprehensive social value development support, and able to demonstrate experience working within framework agreements, would find this type of procurement especially beneficial for expanding their portfolio and gaining a strong foothold in significant public sector contracts.
