Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Single Front Door for Volunteering" project was carried out by Wirral Council, located at Town Hall, Brighton Street, Wallasey, United Kingdom. This project falls under the services industry category, specifically focusing on health and social work services. The contract period began on 1st September 2025 and is set to conclude on 31st August 2026. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract having been awarded directly, without competition, under the light-touch regime. This contract, valued at £135,000, was signed on 27th August 2025.

This project provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in volunteer management and community engagement services. Organisations that can offer innovative solutions to support and enhance volunteer coordination in the region would find this project a great fit. While the tendering process favoured a direct award, businesses in the services sector, particularly those focusing on health and social work, can identify potential future collaborations with Wirral Council or similar public authorities. Large-scale enterprises or those operating as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), such as the awarded supplier Wirral CVS, are well-suited to leverage similar opportunities for contributing to social wellbeing and community spirit.
