Summary of the contracting process

Flintshire County Council procured supported employment services under the Connect to Work North Wales Programme, specifically Individual Placement and Support (IPS) in Flintshire. The service supports people with disabilities who want to work to find sustainable local employment. IPS combines employment support with primary and secondary healthcare and other support services, with co-location and coordinated policies intended where appropriate. The work covers employability services, career guidance and personal development or training. Flintshire County Council is the buyer, while Denbighshire County Council acted as the lead procuring authority for the programme and undertook the procurement on Flintshire’s behalf. Delivery is in Flintshire, North Wales. The requirement is classified as a light-touch public service and was treated as a service procurement.

This procurement has been completed and one supplier was awarded the contract following an open procedure. The award was made to Rhyl City Strategy on 17 July 2026. The awarded value is £1,570,000 excluding VAT, or £1,884,000 including VAT. The single lot has a contract period from 17 August 2026 to 31 March 2030. The tender submission deadline was 3 July 2026 at 12:00, enquiries closed on 26 June 2026 at 12:00, and the award period ended on 29 July 2026. Three bids were received and all three reached the final stage; all final-stage bidders were SMEs. Evaluation was based on quality at 90% and social value at 10%. Both SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises were identified as suitable suppliers.

This award demonstrates demand from Flintshire County Council for specialist supported employment and Individual Placement and Support provision for disabled people seeking work. A credible future supplier would need practical experience in employability services, career guidance and personal development or training, together with the ability to help people secure and sustain local employment. The operating model requires employment support to work alongside primary and secondary health services and other support services, so partnership-building and coordinated delivery across health and community organisations are important. Providers should be able to support integrated working, including co-location where appropriate, and demonstrate a strong quality-focused service with meaningful social value outcomes. The procurement was suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that focused specialist organisations can compete alongside larger providers.
