Summary of the contracting process

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Cumbria has finalised the procurement process for a specialist community intervention programme titled "County Lines Informed Cumbria (1-CLIC)," aimed at addressing county lines activities within affected communities. This programme operates under the public authority sector in the sub-central government category and involves direct awarding without competition, indicating a below threshold procurement method under a "light touch" regime. The contract for services commenced on 1 April 2026 and runs through to 31 March 2027, with the option for a 12-month extension until 31 March 2028. The initiative was initially piloted in South Cumbria and Carlisle, encompassing various regional delivery areas, with the programme's gross value being GBP 336,000. The most recent milestone in this award process was on 29 April 2026.

This procurement offers an opportunity for community-focused businesses involved in delivering social solutions to engage with a local government authority. The awarded contract was given to THE WELL COMMUNITIES C.I.C., a large supplier classified as a VCSE and based in Morecambe, indicating that organisations providing community, social, and personal services are well-suited for such contracts. The initiative presents an avenue for similar businesses to showcase their capabilities in delivering integrated community services within Cumbria, leveraging specialised skills and local knowledge to impact positively on areas affected by county lines. Potentially, the programme could pave the way for future tender opportunities depending on funding availability and the programme's success, encouraging businesses in the service delivery sector to prepare for subsequent engagement.
