Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire County Council has concluded the procurement for the 2026/27 HAF Community Connectors, focusing on health and social work services, as well as other community, social and personal services. The contracting process is categorised under 'Public authority - sub-central government', with contracts awarded to multiple suppliers. The procurement stage is identified as the Award stage, with the award notice published on 20th March 2026 and contracts expected to commence on 1st April 2026 and conclude on 31st March 2027.

Notably, some awarded suppliers include Parent Carer Alliance C.I.C and BLOODHOUND EDUCATION LTD., indicating that ventures with expertise in community and social services stand poised to benefit from such collaborations. In regions within Gloucestershire such as Cotswold, Cheltenham, and Tewkesbury, companies can leverage the service contracts to expand their reach and enhance their service delivery frameworks.
