Summary of the contracting process

The North Yorkshire Council is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for a "Request for Information for Resettlement and Community Support Service (RACSS)", which focuses on health and social work services. This preliminary engagement seeks to gather insights from providers to shape the scope and feasibility of a future tender. The council has partnered with the National Probation Service for this initiative, targeted at the UKE22 region in the United Kingdom and valued at GBP 2,450,000. Key upcoming dates include a market engagement milestone due by December 19, 2025, with a future notice anticipated on February 2, 2026.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in health and social work domains to influence a potential bid by contributing valuable market insights. The programme offers a considerable budget, with a contract period beginning October 2026, expected to run through September 2029, and potential extensions up to 2033. Given its eligibility for light-touch regime considerations, the tender especially encourages participation from SMEs and VCSEs, facilitating broader competition and potential growth for these organisations.
