The initiative aims to support neurodivergent individuals of working age within Barnsley, specifically those economically inactive or struggling to access mainstream provisions. This project falls under the 'services' industry category, with procurement occurring directly below the threshold, without competition. The contract was awarded to BMBC as a supplier, based in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, with the contract period spanning from 20th June 2025 to 31st March 2026.
