Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process undertaken by Gateshead Borough Council is centred around the "Autism Hubs" project, aimed at providing community health services specifically for supporting parents and carers of autistic children and young adults. The procurement falls under the industry category of services and is located within the UKC22 region of the United Kingdom. The project has reached its award stage and was completed on 19th May 2025, with the contract period spanning from 1st July 2025 to 30th June 2026. This procurement was conducted via a direct method, classified as below threshold, without competition, reflecting its niche and specific requirements.

The "Autism Hubs" project presents significant opportunities for growth in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in community health services and parental support. The intended service provider, DAISY CHAIN PROJECT, exemplifies the type of social enterprise, particularly those with a focus on voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sectors, that can succeed in similar tenders. For businesses operating in these areas, this project not only offers a lucrative contract valued at £60,000 but also enhances business exposure and credibility through partnership with a public authority such as Gateshead Borough Council. This opportunity emphasizes the appealing prospects for SMEs and VCSEs in public service delivery, particularly within specialised community support domains.
