UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Merseyside and the Chief Constable for Merseyside commissioned whole-family, evidence-based therapeutic interventions for the MVRP transition year. This is a social work and related service, covering therapeutic support delivered to whole families rather than a goods supply or construction project. The service is intended to maintain an established and critical programme during its transition year. Delivery covers England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East and West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The buyer is based at Merseyside Police Headquarters in Liverpool. The requirement is relevant to organisations providing structured, evidence-based therapeutic or family support interventions, particularly those able to work across multiple English regions and within a public-sector safeguarding or community-services context.

The procurement is complete and was awarded by direct award to CREA8ING COMMUNITY CIC. The award is for one lot and has a value of £300,000 including gross value, in GBP. The contract period runs from 16 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The direct-award rationale was to maintain continuity of an established and critical service. The procurement is above the relevant threshold. The award concerns services classified as social work and related services. The recorded evaluation basis is the direct-award justification rather than a competitive scoring exercise: continuity of the existing provision was the stated reason for selecting the supplier. CREA8ING COMMUNITY CIC is the named supplier and is recorded as a small and medium-sized voluntary, community or social enterprise.

This award indicates demand for whole-family therapeutic provision that is evidence based, established and critical enough for continuity to be treated as central to supplier selection. A credible competitor for comparable work would need the clinical, therapeutic and family-support capability to deliver interventions across the whole family, together with evidence that its approach produces reliable outcomes. Experience of delivering an established service with minimal disruption would be important, as would the operational capacity to serve a broad English geography. Organisations with a voluntary, community or social-enterprise model may be well placed, as the selected supplier is recorded in that category. Relevant experience in social work or related services, robust safeguarding and quality arrangements, and the ability to work with police and public-sector partners would strengthen future competitiveness.
