UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process undertaken by Bedford Borough Council was for the "Same day Child Placement" service, classified under social work and related services (CPV: 85300000). The contract was directly awarded without competition due to its urgency and is part of the light touch regime. The location for the service is within Bedford, United Kingdom, specifically in the region UKH24. This procurement process reached the contract stage, with the contract being active from 26th August 2025 to 26th August 2026. Bedford Borough Council served as the buying organisation, with a gross contract value of GBP 450,840. The procurement was legally based on UKPGA 2023/54 legislation.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in emergency social services or similar niches, particularly those capable of handling urgent requirements effectively. The contract was awarded to Green Harvest Capital Consulting Ltd., an SME based in Exeter, indicating that smaller, agile firms with specialized expertise are well-positioned to compete for similar contracts. Companies with capabilities in providing immediate service delivery and meeting strict legal and service criteria can leverage opportunities arising from such direct procurement processes to foster growth.
