Summary of the contracting process

The Borough Council of Calderdale has completed an award stage for the "Regulation 44 Visits" contract, focusing on health and social work services across five council-owned homes within the Halifax locality, United Kingdom. The procurement was an open competition, identified as below threshold under a light-touch regime, ultimately resulting in a direct award due to the absence of compliant bids. Key contract dates include a start date of 1st April 2026, with an anticipated completion date by 31st March 2028, and a potential renewal option extending the contract by up to 12 months. The supplier awarded was GRAHAMS SOCIAL CARE & EDUCATION LTD, marking the procurement process's official completion on 10th June 2026.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses operating in the health and social work sector to engage with a local government initiative aimed at improving the quality of care in children's homes. With a budget of £63,000 net, the contract caters to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) capable of conducting independent assessments to ensure compliance with statutory duties. Such opportunities enable businesses specializing in social care services to establish or expand their presence in the public sector, particularly those with expertise in delivering high-quality, regulatory-compliant services.
