Summary of the contracting process

Norfolk County Council has awarded a contract for the provision of supported living services to adults with a learning disability in Norwich. This contract falls under the service industry category and involves social work services with accommodation. The procurement was conducted using a direct method, classified as below threshold without competition, and has been completed as of 29 September 2025. The process employed the light-touch regime and marks an active contract award to the Royal Mencap Society. The contract period spans from 29 September 2025 to 31 March 2029, with options available for commissioning tailored care and support packages based on individual client needs through regular reviews. The service delivery extends across various regions in the United Kingdom.

This contract provides significant opportunities for entities in the social care sector, especially those specialising in services for individuals with learning disabilities. Businesses that excel in creating innovative, adaptable care packages would be particularly well-suited for similar future opportunities. Although this specific procurement was directly awarded, it highlights the potential demand for specialist providers who can deliver high-quality supported living solutions. Large organisations similar in scale to the Royal Mencap Society would likely be competitive contenders for involvement in such substantial and impactful service contracts.
