Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council, a public authority representing sub-central government in the UKK24 region, focused on the "Food Vouchers - Household Support Fund Round 7" initiative. This procurement falls under the health and social work services category and is situated in Bournemouth, United Kingdom. The contracting authority reached the award stage with a direct procurement method, justified by government funding constraints and time limitations. Key dates include the contract signing on 29th May 2025, with the service required to commence immediately, ensuring eligible children receive food vouchers during school holidays.

This tender presents tangible business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like EVOUCHERS LTD, which was awarded the contract. Companies specialising in voucher distribution, especially those already involved in health and social services, would benefit from participating in similar tenders. The project entails a significant contract value of £2,350,000 and runs until 31st March 2026, providing stable revenue potential for firms capable of delivering the required services under demanding timelines and funding conditions.
