Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Kingston Upon Thames has completed the procurement process titled "Strengths Based Practice," focused on enhancing adult social care through a strengths-based approach. This procurement falls under the services category with project management consultancy services as the main focus. The project took place in Kingston upon Thames, United Kingdom. The procurement was conducted using a direct method, classified as below threshold without competition, which implies a streamlined approach for this sub-central government authority. Key dates include the contract commencing on 17th April 2026 and concluding by 30th October 2026, with a possible extension until 31st March 2027.

This tender offers substantial business growth prospects, particularly for organisations involved in consultancy services within the social care sector. Businesses proficient in project management consultancy and those providing innovative solutions in social care will find this opportunity apt for expanding their footprint in this niche. With the direct procurement method adopted, SMEs like the Social Care Institute for Excellence, already involved as a supplier, demonstrate the potential for smaller firms to partner with public authorities in delivering specialised services. This can lead to increased visibility and credibility in the industry and foster long-term collaborations with government entities.
