Summary of the contracting process

The Women's Support Services contract for York and North Yorkshire, facilitated by the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority Policing, Fire and Crime Directorate, has successfully reached the award stage. This service contract, classified under health and social work services, includes the management of women's centres, outreach provisions, and a justice diversion scheme. It was awarded through an open procedure, following a light touch regime. The contract was valued at £1,839,801 gross, with a contract period commencing on 3rd May 2026 and concluding on 2nd May 2028, with options to extend up to 2030. The standstill period for this award ended on 19th February 2026, and the agreement was set to be signed by 23rd February 2026.

This procurement presents significant business growth prospects, especially for large-scale organisations with expertise in health and social services. Organisations operating within the scope of women's health and support services and possessing the capacity to manage community centres or conduct outreach efforts will find this opportunity particularly relevant. The open procedure allows for broad competition, suggesting that the procurement process was designed to encourage diverse and capable tenderers, as evidenced by the involvement of large-scale voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations like St Giles Trust and Phoenix House. Delivering on this contract can improve community outreach and client engagement, offering substantial societal impact and improvement in regional social support infrastructure.
