Summary of the contracting process

Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council has completed the procurement process for the "Start for Life Early Help Programme - Bereavement Support" focusing on providing support for bereavement due to baby loss or the loss of a child under the age of one. This was classified under health services and social work-related services and aimed at the North East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement was executed through a Direct Award method, with the contract period starting from 13th March 2023 until 12th March 2026. The contracting process is now in the award stage and a contract valued at £152,430 was awarded to Leo's, an organisation identified as both a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) and a voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE).

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social services, specifically those providing support in the perinatal period. The direct award method signifies a need for specialised and immediate service provision, making it suitable for established entities with relevant expertise in bereavement support. Businesses that are SMEs or VCSEs, like the awarded supplier Leo's, can particularly benefit from engaging in such public contracts as they are often encouraged by local councils to promote community-based services. This contract reinforces the importance of specialised support services for sensitive social care areas, fostering growth opportunities for qualified organisations.
