Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Change and Transformation - Social Care Reform" was conducted by South Tyneside Borough Council, targeting the business and management consultancy services industry. The tender aimed at providing project support for transformational improvements in Children's Services. The procurement, classified under the "services" category with CPV code 79410000, was concluded with the award stage being marked as complete. It involved a direct award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, using the NEPRO3 Framework, which falls outside the scope of EU directives. The procurement was finalised with a contract signed on 11th December 2025, valued at £105,263.15, and the services were designated for the North East England region (UKC22). The sole contract was awarded to Bloom Procurement Services Ltd, based in Newcastle upon Tyne.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy services, particularly those experienced in social care reform and children's services. As the procurement was direct without competition, it hints at prospects for businesses capable of forming partnerships or frameworks like NEPRO3 with councils for further projects. Firms akin to Bloom Procurement Services Ltd, possibly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with a strong regional presence and a capacity to deliver specialised consultancy, stand to benefit from such processes in capturing future contracts of a similar nature.
