Summary of the contracting process

Cambridgeshire County Council has successfully concluded the procurement process for the "Community Navigators" service, within the health and social work services industry category. This contract aims to support individuals in maintaining independence within their communities, thus reducing reliance on statutory services. The procurement, carried out using an open procedure under the light touch regime, started with a tender initiated on 1 April 2025 and was followed by a series of procurement stages, culminating in the award of the contract to MAKING SPACE on 19 November 2025. The service will be delivered primarily within the Cambridgeshire region (UKH12), with the contract spanning from 6 November 2025 to 30 September 2027, with potential extension for an additional year. The total contract value is £1,274,400 gross, with a net amount of £1,062,000.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in the health and social work sector, especially those focusing on care services aimed at fostering independence and community support. The open procurement method encouraged competitive bidding, which was evident as multiple bids were evaluated. Firms that specialize in services for vulnerable populations, including voluntary, community, and social enterprises, particularly those qualifying as SMEs, would find this contract well-suited to their capabilities. The emphasis on quality and social value, each comprising almost half of the evaluation criteria, further underscores the potential for innovation and impactful service delivery in the community.

Notice Information

Notice Title

24091 Cambridgeshire County Council Community Navigators

Notice Description

The Care Act places a duty on local authorities to identify people in their area who might have support needs that are not being met and to ensure that services are available to prevent their care needs from becoming more serious, or delay the impact of their needs and ensure adults requiring support get the information and advice they need to make good decisions about care and support. To meet the requirements stated above Cambridgeshire County Council invited tenders for a Community Navigator Service which contributes to Cambridgeshire County Council's delivery of universal services and early intervention and is an element of our demand management arrangements. The service is designed to support people to maintain independence in their own homes and communities therefore reducing the demand on statutory services.
