Summary of the contracting process

Newcastle City Council has conducted a procurement process titled "Independent Residential Placement PER124402/NEWHomes0463" to secure services for an independent residential placement for a child or young person. This procurement falls under the 'Health and social work services' category, with the specific location in the United Kingdom's UKE12 region. The procurement method employed is a direct award under the light-touch regime due to the urgency of safeguarding a child. The award stage has been completed as of 6th July 2026, with Compass Children's Homes taking on the supplier role and the contract period extending from 6th July 2026 to 13th December 2032.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the health and social work services sector, particularly those equipped to provide residential care for children within regulated environments such as Ofsted-registered children's homes. Companies with capabilities in providing urgent and specialised care will find this contract particularly advantageous. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are well-suited to compete, given the direct award nature that often favours specialised providers capable of quick response to immediate needs.
