Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process initiated by Leeds City Council involves a contract titled "Young Carers Support Service", targeting the health and social work services industry. The contract addresses the crucial aim of protecting children and young people from harm and supporting efforts to prevent them from entering the care system. It falls under the public authority sector and covers the Leeds locality, with the council located at Civic Hall, Calverley Street, Leeds, LS1 1UR, United Kingdom. As of 24th April 2026, this contract is in the award stage, with Family Action designated as the supplier. The procurement method is a direct award due to the intellectual property rights held exclusively by the supplier, which prevents alternative suppliers from providing the same service without infringement. The contract period begins on 24th April 2026 and is set to end by 31st March 2030, with a potential renewal extending up to March 2032.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in health and social work services to tap into significant public sector funding, amounting to over £1.63 million. Businesses that possess exclusive intellectual property rights in similar domains or those specialising in advanced service provisions for young carers would be highly suitable to compete in similar tenders. Large companies that can navigate complex service delivery within the health and social care industry would particularly benefit, considering the nature of intellectual property rights associated with this contract. The direct award methodology suggests a preference for specialists who already own critical rights, offering competitive advantages to those with established unique competencies.
