This initiative is conducted within the United Kingdom, specifically the Hull region (UKE11). The industry category involved is services, explicitly focusing on community services. Initiated as an open procurement method, the process has reached the award stage, with the contract officially awarded on 28th May 2026. Key milestones include the start of the contract period set for 1st July 2026, lasting initially for two years with a potential 12-month extension, making the total estimated contract value £180,000.

Companies structured as SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) or those classified as VCSEs (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises) are especially well-suited to compete, given that Hull 4 Heroes, currently recognised as an SME, has been successfully awarded the contract. The procurement not only supports the provision of vital services to the Armed Forces community but also fosters business growth by facilitating partnerships between local authorities and businesses committed to enhancing community welfare.
