Summary of the contracting process

Together for Children Sunderland Limited was overseeing the procurement process for the "Provision of a Habilitation Service for Children and Young People with a Vision Impairment" centred in Sunderland, UK. This procurement falls under health and social work services categories. Although the process reached a tender stage initially, it eventually concluded with the tender's cancellation. Key procurement activities included an open competition below threshold with the submission period ending on 28 April 2025, and the contract period was initially planned from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2027, with potential extension until 30 June 2028.

This procurement opportunity was designed to be particularly beneficial for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) capable of delivering distinct health and social work services, given the framework agreement structure. Firms specialising in health and habilitation services had a chance to gain structured entry into public sector work through this tender process. Engaging in such public procurement offers businesses potential growth through steady service delivery for government-associated works, despite the eventual cancellation of this specific opportunity.
