Summary of the contracting process

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Merseyside and the Chief Constable for Merseyside have completed the award phase of a procurement process titled "MVRP - Whole family evidence based therapeutic interventions - Transition year." The relevant industry category is social work and related services, falling under CPV code 85300000. The contract was directly awarded to CREA8ING COMMUNITY CIC, a small to medium enterprise (SME) and a VCSE located in Wallasey, United Kingdom. The project, aiming at providing therapeutic interventions, is intended to maintain service continuity with plans for a competitive tender exercise if future funding is secured. The contract commenced on 16 July 2026 and will run until 31 March 2027, covering multiple regions in the UK including UKC, UKD, and UKI, among others. The procurement method utilised was a direct award, highlighting the critical nature of the service provided.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for SMEs specialising in therapeutic interventions and social services to grow by engaging with sub-central government authorities. Businesses with expertise in evidence-based family therapy and social work are particularly well-suited to benefit from this demand. As the authority plans to conduct a competitive tender for the programme's future provision in the next financial year, there is a promising potential for new and existing service providers to gain contracts by offering innovative solutions tailored to the needs of family therapeutic services in Merseyside and beyond. Engaging in such government contracts could lead to increased exposure and revenue for businesses aiming to expand their service offerings within the social service sector.
