UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Isle of Wight Council commissioned consultancy services to support planning and service provision for working-age adults living on the Isle of Wight who have learning disabilities and mental health needs. This is the second phase of the council’s work on reviewing and developing services for these groups. The requirement covers specialist advice and support for understanding needs, shaping future provision and informing planning decisions. The work is delivered for the Isle of Wight, with the council as the public-sector buyer. The procurement is categorised as business and management consultancy services. It is relevant to organisations experienced in health and social care strategy, service review, needs assessment, commissioning support or developing provision for people with learning disabilities and mental health needs.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded directly without competition under a below-threshold procedure. There was one lot. The National Development Team for Inclusion was selected as supplier and the award is active. The contract was signed on 31 October 2025 and runs from 1 November 2025 to 31 October 2027. Its value is £70,300 excluding VAT, or £84,360 including VAT. The award concerns the full requirement for Working Age Adult Review Phase 2. The published outcome identifies the direct-award route and supplier, but does not set out separate scored evaluation criteria. The contract is currently active and covers the Isle of Wight Council’s review and planning support requirement.

This award demonstrates a defined demand for specialist consultancy supporting local authority planning and service development for people with learning disabilities and mental health needs. A credible competitor for similar work would need to understand adult social care, mental health services and the practical realities of commissioning and service provision for working-age adults. Relevant capability would include reviewing existing services, assessing population needs, engaging with stakeholders and translating evidence into workable plans for a council. The selected supplier is a small and medium-sized voluntary, community or social enterprise, indicating that this type of requirement can suit a focused specialist organisation rather than only a large consultancy. Experience producing clear advice for public-sector decision-makers and working in an island community would strengthen a future proposition.
