Summary of the contracting process

Southend-on-Sea City Council has completed the award stage for a tender titled "Children's Care Packages," focusing on providing ongoing daycare services for disabled children and young people in the region of Southend On Sea, Essex (UKH31). The contract, awarded to ECO WINGS & NIGHTS LIMITED, is under the services category and aligns with procurement legal basis 2023/54. The procurement method was noted as "Below threshold - unknown," and the contract is valid from 8th April 2025 to 31st March 2026. The total contract value is £66,889 GBP (gross amount £80,266.80 GBP). Key dates include the signing on 7th April 2025 and the contract notice publication on 4th June 2025.

This procurement opportunity offers significant growth potential for businesses specialising in health and social services, particularly in the realm of care for young people and children with disabilities. SMEs, like ECO WINGS & NIGHTS LIMITED, which hold expertise in daycare services, can find a viable niche in such contracts. The regional focus on Southend On Sea suggests opportunities for local businesses to engage and contribute to community welfare, while non-local companies could consider forming strategic partnerships within the area to enhance service delivery and market presence. The competitive threshold level may also encourage participation from smaller enterprises looking to establish or expand within public sector markets.
