Summary of the contracting process

Warrington Borough Council has awarded a contract for the provision of Speech and Language Therapy services, particularly aimed at supporting children with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) in schools. This procurement process, under the services category, was completed as part of a tender process below the threshold, with a light-touch regime. The contract was signed with BRIDGEWOOD HEALTH CARE LIMITED, a large company based in Rotherham, on 16th June 2025 and is active from 1st August 2025 until 31st July 2026, with a possible extension of three months. The contract value is grossly estimated at £180,000. Key details about the contract were published on 12th February 2026.

This contract offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in children's healthcare services, particularly those with expertise in paediatric speech therapy. Firms like BRIDGEWOOD HEALTH CARE LIMITED, which can provide tailored services within the specified region (UKD61), have the potential to secure such contracts and expand their service offerings, especially if they can deliver effective solutions to meet the specific needs outlined in the EHCPs. This procurement can drive growth by positioning the successful supplier as a key player in the niche market of educational healthcare services within the public sector.
