Summary of the contracting process

Denbighshire County Council procured a behaviour change programme to improve wellbeing, cognitive skills and life outcomes for people with low expectations of themselves. The programme is intended to build ambition, self-belief and motivation, and help participants overcome personal challenges and take greater control of their lives. This is a social support and education service, with elements relating to addiction treatment and community services. Delivery is in Denbighshire, Wales. The procurement was managed by Denbighshire County Council, based in Ruthin. The tender described a single programme rather than separate service lots, bringing together support focused on individuals’ personal development and wider life outcomes.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Intuitive Thinking Skills Limited on 17 June 2025. The signed contract runs from 1 August 2025 to 31 July 2028. Its awarded value is £359,112 excluding VAT (£438,994 gross); the signed contract is recorded at £359,112 excluding VAT (£430,934.40 gross). The initial estimated value was £360,000 excluding VAT (£432,000 gross). The council used an open competition below the applicable threshold. There was one lot, and the evaluation weighted quality at 90% and price at 10%. Four bids were received, all reaching the final stage. Electronic submission was allowed, and tenders could be submitted in Welsh or English.

This award indicates demand from Denbighshire County Council for a substantial, multi-year behaviour change service, rather than a one-off intervention. A credible future competitor would need experience delivering structured support that improves wellbeing, cognitive skills and life outcomes for people with low self-expectations, and the ability to foster motivation, ambition and self-belief while helping participants address personal challenges. The strong emphasis on quality in the evaluation makes evidence of effective programme design and delivery particularly important; price was a smaller part of the assessment. The council welcomed bids from SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so the requirement was not restricted to large providers. Suppliers should also be prepared to address TUPE implications, which formed part of the tender information.
