Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Bexley has concluded a public procurement process for the provision of mediation services targeting families with children and young people possessing special educational needs. This contract is specifically situated within the services category, particularly under social services, and will be actionable from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2028. The procurement, under legal basis 2023/54, falls below the threshold and was awarded directly without competition to the supplier, KIDS. Located in Bexleyheath, UK, this initiative underlines Bexley’s commitment to enhancing community support through specialised service offerings.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for businesses interested in social services designed for vulnerable demographics, particularly those proficient in delivering educational and family-oriented support. Although awarded directly in this instance, similar future opportunities may encourage participation from potential suppliers adept in developing comprehensive family support strategies. Large enterprises and VCSEs (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises), like KIDS, are well-suited to compete, leveraging their capacity to deliver substantial value in community service programmes. Such contracts can serve as examples for similar business developments or bid submissions in pursuing strategic growth in public sector engagements.
