Summary of the contracting process

Middlesbrough Council has recently concluded the procurement process for the "Redemption of Community Support Grant Vouchers" project. This initiative falls under the services industry category and is primarily focused on facilitating the use of vouchers for purchasing second-hand furniture within Middlesbrough, United Kingdom. The procurement process was carried out using an open method, specifically designed for competitions below the threshold. The process began with a tender issued on 19th May 2025 and concluded with an award announced on 27th October 2025. The associated contract has an active status with a performance period starting from 1st August 2025 to 31st July 2026, including the option for a 12-month extension. Middlesbrough Council served as the buying organisation with contact available through their procurement email, and the awarded supplier is Community Ventures Ltd based in the same region.

This tender presents significant business opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly those capable of delivering services related to financial and insurance needs, as denoted by the CPV classification "66000000." The award criteria weighted quality and social value heavily, suggesting that businesses prioritising these aspects are well-positioned to succeed in such tenders. Enterprises in the social sector, including voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), are particularly well-suited to participate, given the nature of the social value component. Opportunities like these can be instrumental in business growth by facilitating long-term contracts and extensions, providing steady revenue streams and leveraging social impact for broader community engagement within Middlesbrough.
