Summary of the contracting process

Somerset County Council has recently completed a procurement process for the Somerset Family Support Service, targeting health and social work services within the South West of England. This service aims to provide support to families in crisis across four distinct areas: Somerset West and Taunton, Sedgemoor, South Somerset, and Mendip. The contract, valued at £600,000, commenced on 1st April 2022 and is set to run until 31st March 2025, with the potential for two 12-month extensions. The process was conducted under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, though it falls under the Light Touch Regime and is thus exempt from certain UK procurement rules.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) engaged in social services and family support. Businesses well-suited to compete include those with experience in community-based services, volunteer coordination, and child welfare support, as they will be essential in fostering relationships that bolster family resilience and self-sufficiency in the region.
