Summary of the contracting process

Swindon Borough Council has recently awarded a contract for the All Age Direct Payment Support Service, with the aim of enhancing self-directed support within the community. The procurement process involved an open competitive flexible procedure. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically focusing on health and social work services, and is situated in the UKK14 region, Swindon, United Kingdom. The award was completed in June 2026, and the contract duration is set to commence from 1st September 2026, ending on 31st August 2029, with options for renewal up to 2033. The contract, valued at £1,400,000 (gross amount £1,680,000), was awarded to People Places Lives Limited, a small and medium enterprise (SME) based in Wigan.

This procurement opportunity provides significant potential for businesses involved in social work and community-based services. The main goal is to develop a self-directed support community in Swindon, created by and for local residents. Businesses specialised in providing health and social work services, especially those with experience in managing direct payments, will find this contract a suitable opportunity. Companies interested in engaging with local authorities to support vulnerable groups, like the elderly and children, or those with innovative solutions for direct payment schemes, should consider entering such tenders in future rounds. The potential for contract extension underscores a long-term business growth opportunity for companies aiming to embed themselves within community-focused public service initiatives.
