Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Barking and Dagenham Council has completed a public procurement process for the "Provision of a Young Carers Support Service," which focuses on supporting young carers aged 8 to 18 within the Barking and Dagenham area. The procurement, under the "services" category, utilised a direct method below the threshold without competition. Carers Centre SA Ltd has been awarded this contract, which began on 1st April 2025 and will run until 30th September 2025. The contract, valued at £35,000, was signed on 27th February 2025, with legal obligations guided by the UKPGA 2023/54 legislation.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in community services, particularly those with expertise in supporting carers and youth programmes, to engage with local government contracts. Although the current process was made via direct procurement, similar future projects could open doors for both niche speciality firms and larger service providers aiming to expand their offerings in public sector support services, particularly those prepared for competitive tendering processes. Firms within or near the UKI52 region would be well-positioned to leverage their local presence and community insights.
