UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Worcestershire County Council commissioned a county-wide Neighbourhood Engagement Programme focused on informal, community-led engagement. The service is a structured train-the-trainer programme, delivered across multiple locations, to support prevention, early intervention and neighbourhood health delivery. It falls within health and social work services. The work is intended to equip people to use community-led approaches in neighbourhood settings, with training and programme delivery spanning the county. The buyer is Worcestershire County Council, based in Worcester. The procurement was divided into one lot, covering the programme as a whole. The stated delivery area is Worcestershire.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to AGE UK Camden Ltd. The contract was signed on 17 September 2026 and runs from 17 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £50,000 excluding VAT (£60,000 including VAT). The original requirement was handled through below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. It was a single-lot services procurement; the lot is marked complete. No evaluation criteria are reported. The award is active and the contract is active. The supplier selected was AGE UK Camden Ltd.

For organisations interested in future work of this kind, this award indicates demand from Worcestershire County Council for a county-wide, multi-location programme that trains others to deliver informal, community-led engagement. Relevant strengths include designing and delivering train-the-trainer programmes, supporting community-based engagement, and connecting activity to prevention, early intervention and neighbourhood health. Suppliers would need the capability to coordinate delivery across several locations and to work with local communities and partners. The completed award went to a voluntary and community-sector organisation, suggesting that this type of provider can meet the requirement; the procurement also identified the opportunity as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The competition was limited and below threshold.
