Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by the Police and Crime Commissioner for North Wales Police aimed to address critical services under the title "Family Court Pathfinder," with a focus on health and social work services. Based in Colwyn Bay, North Wales, the contracting authority engaged in a direct award procurement method to secure these services, as previously limited competition justified this choice.

The most recent award date is 15th May 2026, with the contract expected to run from 29th May 2026 to 31st March 2027. The location for contractual services is designated as within the United Kingdom, specifically the North Wales region.

Enterprises such as SMEs, voluntary, community and social enterprises, and sheltered workshops particularly stand to benefit, with the supplier selected indicating potential for similar organisations to thrive.
