Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, titled "Direct Award - Spot Purchase - IDEM - LS", was conducted by Halton Borough Council, located in Widnes, England. It falls under the industry category of community, social, and personal services. The procurement method was a direct award through the Flexible Purchasing System, specifically aimed at spot purchases. The award stage was completed on 10 May 2025, with a contract that began on 11 May 2025 and is set to conclude on 10 May 2026. This process took place within the United Kingdom, specifically servicing the region of England, and involved a contract valued at £316,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in providing community, social, and personal services. As the procurement method was a direct award, it may most benefit businesses that already have established relationships or frameworks with public sector buyers. Although the specific suitability criteria indicate it was not tailored for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), larger businesses with proven capabilities in delivering specialised services within the United Kingdom, especially in England, could find substantial growth prospects through engagement in similar future opportunities.
