Summary of the contracting process

North Somerset Council has completed a direct procurement process for the renewal of the "Mind of My Own" app contract. This app facilitates communication between children, young people, and social care practitioners, and has been operational in North Somerset since November 2022. The procurement process fell below the competition threshold and did not involve an open tender. The services involved are within the health and social work category. The contract started on 1st December 2022 and will run until 31st March 2028, with a total gross value of £41,268. The project is centrally located in Weston-super-Mare, North Somerset, serving the UKK12 region.

Businesses in the digital healthcare and social service sectors can explore opportunities to partner with organisations like North Somerset Council, as councils frequently require innovative solutions to improve community services. Companies specialising in app development, particularly those with experience in health and social care solutions, would be well-suited for similar engagements. As this procurement utilised a direct method, small to medium enterprises can consider engaging closely with local councils to understand and identify potential areas for collaboration and service provision.
