Summary of the contracting process

South Tyneside Borough Council initiated a contracting process under the title "Support Service for Staying Close Care Leavers" to provide social work and related services within the region of UKC22, United Kingdom. The procurement followed an open procedure, classified under the "light touch" regime, and completed its award stage on 16 October 2025. The contract, valued at £300,000 annually, will run from 1 November 2025 to 31 October 2026. The service focuses on delivering high-quality, intensive support to young people aged 18 to 25, primarily through outreach support, with the overarching aim of facilitating their transition into stable adult living.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the social services sector, particularly those with experience in supporting care-experienced individuals. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), are particularly well-suited to compete, given the emphasis on local impact and social value. Companies that can deliver a trauma-informed, psychologically supportive environment and demonstrate flexibility in addressing complex needs will have a competitive advantage. The successful supplier, Coquet Trust, offers a model for organisations aiming to leverage such contracts for growth and social contribution.
