Summary of the contracting process

Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council has finalised the procurement process for the provision of services related to three Ofsted registered residential children's homes for children with disabilities. This procurement, titled "Contract for 3x Ofsted Registered Residential Children's Homes for Children with Disabilities," was conducted using the open procedure under the legislation 2023/54. The process, based in the Redcar and Cleveland area of the United Kingdom (UKC12), reached the award stage with a contract value of £9,819,227.60 and completion status. The procurement's key milestone dates included the standstill period ending on 25th July 2025, and the contract period extending from 1st August 2025 to 31st July 2030, with possible extensions until 31st July 2032.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses operating within the health and social work services sector, especially those focused on providing specialised care for children with disabilities. SMEs and organisations with a background in managing and delivering high-quality residential care services would be well-suited to compete in similar tenders. As the awarded supplier is required to sign lease agreements for council-owned properties, companies with experience in managing leased facilities and working under light-touch regimes will find this contract advantageous. The involvement of organisations like North East Autism Society, a large VCSE entity, indicates opportunities for both small and medium enterprises and larger providers within this market segment to enhance their service offerings and expand their operational reach within public service contracts.
