Summary of the contracting process

Middlesbrough Council has recently completed its procurement process for a service contract titled "PH071 - Deep Dive into the Impact/ Next Steps for ST Changing Futures." This contract, awarded to the Redcar and Cleveland Voluntary Development Agency (RCVDA), focuses on conducting detailed community-based research to evaluate the Changing Futures Programme. The contract period runs from 1st May 2026 to 31st July 2026. The procurement method used for this process was direct procurement below the threshold, meaning it was awarded without competition. The research will analyse crucial elements like the keyworker model and social value, and aims to bolster evidence for future funding and programme efficacy. With the buyer being Middlesbrough Council, the initiative falls under the 'Health and Social Work Services' and 'Other Community, Social and Personal Services' categories, reflecting the council's sub-central government role.

This tender presents significant opportunities for organisations specialising in community, social, and health services, particularly those skilled in conducting detailed impact assessments. Businesses that prioritise the social value of service delivery and have experience with governmental or community-focused programmes will find this contract aligns with their expertise. The project's emphasis on systematic review and themed deep dives indicates that companies with robust analytical capabilities and a strategic research framework will be well-suited to compete. The partnership with Teesside University underscores the importance of collaborative approaches and community engagement, making it ideal for SMEs and VCSEs geared towards driving social change and creating reporting frameworks that can influence future funding decisions.
