The procurement process, categorised under the health and social work services industry, involved a direct award due to the specialist nature and limited market capacity to deliver complex care safely. The contract was signed on 25th March 2026 and is set to commence on 1st April 2026, running until 1st March 2027, with an option for a 12-month extension.

The emphasis on continuity of service and trusted relationships highlights the importance of experienced providers who can offer stability and minimise disruption risks for vulnerable children and families. Small to medium-sized enterprises with a strong track record in delivering specialised care services will find this contract appealing, given the direct award procurement method that favours existing expertise over competitive bidding. The £1,172,995 contract value underscores the considerable business growth potential for participants in this sector.
