Summary of the contracting process

Northumberland County Council has successfully completed a procurement process titled "NCC1605 Family Support Rural Project". This project focuses on service provision in Blyth, Northumberland, aiming to support individuals in rural areas facing health inequalities due to complex needs related to drug, alcohol, and mental ill health. The council, classified under sub-central government, is located at County Hall, Morpeth. The procurement method used was open competition and fell into the 'lightTouch' special regime category underneath the threshold value. The contract, awarded to Escape Family Support, commenced on 1st June 2025 and is set to conclude by 31st May 2026, with an optional extension for an additional year. The award, issued on 30th May 2025, involves a service category as per CPV classification 85000000, covering health and social work services.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for businesses specializing in health and social services, particularly those adept at supporting populations with complex health issues in rural settings. SMEs with expertise in healthcare and support services tailored for drug, alcohol, and mental health needs will find this contract especially beneficial. The emphasis on service provision within the local community enables businesses to expand their reach and contribute significantly to public health improvement. Moreover, the below-threshold open competition suggests that smaller businesses with innovative solutions could stand a good chance in future tenders of similar nature, fostering valuable partnerships with local government bodies.
