Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process initiated by Orbit Group Limited, based in Coventry, United Kingdom, has concluded with the awarding of a contract for the "Emergency Customer Grants Services 2026 - 2028". This tender falls under the services category, specifically focusing on community, social, and personal services. Orbit Group Limited, classified as a public authority - sub-central government, opted for a direct procurement method without competition, as it falls below the financial threshold. The contract, awarded on 1st June 2026 to Charis Grants Limited, will cover regions including UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, and UKJ, and include an initial period ending on 31st May 2027, with options for a 12-month extension until 2028. The total contract value is £100,000, with a gross amount of £80,000. The procurement process was completed, and the contract is now active as of June 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in providing emergency and out-of-hours customer grants and vouchers, particularly those offering community-centred services. As a service contract that addresses public needs across multiple UK regions, it is particularly well-suited for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that have the capability to deliver these services efficiently and reliably. Businesses with experience in social services, support functions, and voucher management could use such engagement as a means to establish long-term partnerships with public authorities like Orbit Group Limited and expand their presence in the public sector marketplace.
