Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process titled "Supervised Family Time" is being overseen by Wirral Council, a sub-central public authority in the United Kingdom. This solicitation falls under the "services" industry category, specifically targeting social work services, and is situated in the UKD74 region. The procurement is currently at the planning stage, with key dates including a future notice date on 18 May 2026. The contract period is planned to run from 1 October 2026 through to 30 September 2028, with the possibility of extension until 2030. Wirral Council is seeking a provider to deliver supervised family time services across and outside the borough of Wirral, with the tender estimated at a value of £1,660,000.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for providers of social work services, particularly those with experience in delivering family support and supervision. Companies specialising in child and family welfare, and those capable of managing service delivery across multiple locations, will find this contract especially well-suited to their capabilities. The light-touch procurement regime indicates flexibility and could appeal to small and medium-sized enterprises aiming to expand their market presence and establish a partnership within a governmental framework. Engaging in this process could provide long-term collaborative prospects with sub-central government entities like Wirral Council.
