Summary of the contracting process

Newcastle City Council has completed a procurement process for the "Community Wellbeing Pathfinders" project, focused on the delivery of other community, social, and personal services within Newcastle upon Tyne. The procurement aimed to engage with residents regarding the social determinants of health, enhancing community capacity as part of anti-poverty efforts. This limited procurement method, which did not require prior publication of a call for competition, resulted in an awarded active contract valued at £186,663 to Healthworks, a local SME. The award procedure was justified due to Healthworks' established presence and links in the required geographical areas.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in community-based health and social services. Companies with a strong understanding and presence in localised community health can benefit from similar future contracts. Such businesses, particularly those with an established local network and the ability to work on expanding community outreach and capacity, would be well-suited to compete in this sector. Engaging in these contracts can help grow their business by collaborating with local authorities like Newcastle City Council and playing a significant role in tackling social determinants of health within the community.
