Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the Borough of Kirklees has successfully awarded a contract under the title "Kirklees Intervention and Support Services" with the procurement process classified under the health and social work services category. This contract aims to provide safe and suitable accommodation, along with learning, employment opportunities, and overall wellbeing for the service users in Huddersfield, United Kingdom. The procurement method followed an open, competitive flexible procedure under a light-touch regime, with a contract period set to commence on 1st April 2026 and expire on 31st March 2031, subject to further extension until 31st March 2036. The contract, valued at approximately £16,334,490, was awarded to West Yorkshire Better Outcomes Partnership Limited, focusing on enhancing the quality of life for vulnerable individuals aged 16 and above. Key decision milestones included award notice publication on 8th January 2026 and an anticipated standstill period ending on 19th January 2026.

This tender offers a significant opportunity for businesses specializing in social services and support interventions, particularly those with experience in co-designing service frameworks aimed at reducing reliance on crisis interventions. Companies that are capable of delivering preventative and inclusive services, thereby improving the lives of vulnerable and complex individuals, would be well-placed to compete in such initiatives. The contract’s emphasis on achieving measurable social outcomes before funding is released can promote innovative solutions and collaborations between councils and service providers, especially those within the third sector. Given the involvement of a Social Outcomes Contract, the project is ideally suited for firms that thrive on performance-linked contracting and possess a strong track record in third-sector engagement.
