Summary of the contracting process

Halton Borough Council has completed the procurement process for the "Provision of Children and Young People's Speech and Language Therapy Services" in Widnes, UK, classified under health and social work services. This procurement, which was conducted using a direct method below the threshold without competition, falls under the light-touch regime and aims to deliver targeted and specialist speech and language interventions to children with statutory requirements, notably those on Education, Health, and Care Plans (EHCP). The contract, valued at £90,000, commenced on 26th November 2025 and is set to conclude on 22nd May 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in health and social services, particularly those focusing on speech and language therapy for young people. Organisations capable of providing specialised healthcare interventions or those with experience working within the UK's public sector or educational support environments would find this contract particularly well-suited. As the procurement method required no competition, businesses already aligned with such capabilities might seek similar future opportunities to collaborate with local government bodies like the Halton Borough Council.
