Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Lancashire County Council involves the "Supply of Village Agents" to provide support in diverting service demand from Adult Social Care through early intervention and prevention. This project falls under the "Health and social work services" industry category and is located in the United Kingdom, specifically in the UKD4 region. The procurement method used was limited, signifying that it was conducted below the threshold with restricted competition, and it has now reached the award stage. The process was finalised on 19th June 2025, with the contract set to commence on 1st July 2025 and continue until the end of June 2026. The contract, valued at £150,000, was signed on the 18th of June 2025 and is awarded for engaging four Village Agents to assist with low-level social care needs.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses operating within the services sector, particularly those specialising in social health and community service provisions. The contract was awarded to the Community Council of Lancashire, indicating that organisations similar in scale, such as SMEs with experience in delivering community-focused health services, would be well-suited to compete. Engaging in such tenders could provide businesses with a platform to expand their reach and demonstrate their capabilities in delivering essential services in collaboration with public authorities.
