Summary of the contracting process

Wirral Council has completed the procurement of a service contract titled "Reflex Integration Assessments and Therapy for CLA Cohort," focusing on community health services for looked after children. This procurement process reached the award and contract stages on 8th January 2026, with an active contract signed on 7th January 2026, set to run until 7th January 2027. The initiative, conducted under the legal basis of UKPGA 2023/54, addresses complex behaviours impacting education in the UKD74 region, specifically in Wirral. Notably, the procurement method was marked as below threshold and unknown in its specifics, indicating a non-standard approach for such contracts.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in community health services, particularly those focusing on therapeutic interventions for young people facing emotional and behavioural challenges. Large-scale organisations, similar to Blue Skies Ahead, which successfully secured the contract, would be particularly well-suited to compete for such tenders. The provision of these services not only supports young people's academic and placement stability but also opens avenues for businesses to establish a foothold in the public sector, working closely with sub-central government authorities like Wirral Council.

Notice Description

Contract to provide reflex integration assessments, therapy and reviews to support looked after children who are presenting with complex behaviors which are impacting on education.
