Summary of the contracting process

Walsall Council has successfully completed a procurement process titled "WP3657A Walsall Carers Co-design and Personalisation Pilot," which involved the direct award of a contract for delivering a carers co-design and personalisation service. This project falls under the category of other community, social, and personal services and was specifically designed for a sub-central government public authority. The procurement, carried out via a direct method below competitive thresholds, was located in Walsall, United Kingdom, and forms part of the light-touch regime. The contract commenced on 6th May 2026 and is due for completion by 30th September 2026, with a total gross value of £90,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for organisations experienced in community and social services, as it focuses on developing tailored and innovative care solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly those with a focus on community engagement and personalisation, are well-suited to compete in similar procurement processes. The award to FORWARD CARERS C.I.C., an SME, highlights the potential for small, community-minded organisations to secure government contracts, thereby fostering both business growth and community impact.
