UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hertfordshire County Council commissioned community and service engagement services focused on offering peer mentoring training. The requirement is classified as health and social work services and forms part of the council’s work with communities and service users. The buyer is Hertfordshire County Council, a local public authority based in Stevenage. Delivery is within the United Kingdom. The service is a single requirement rather than a multi-lot programme, covering the full community and service engagement activity. It is relevant to organisations that provide peer mentoring training and can support effective engagement with communities and people who use public services.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to VIEWPOINT. The council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the light-touch regime. The contract was signed on 31 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its gross value is £36,600. The contract has an extension option, with a maximum extent date of 31 March 2029; the published terms say grant funding may continue and the contract may be extended. One supplier was selected for the single requirement. The recorded evaluation basis was the direct-award route rather than a competitive assessment.

This award indicates established demand from Hertfordshire County Council for community and service engagement delivered through peer mentoring training. Competitors seeking similar work with this buyer would need a credible ability to design and deliver peer mentoring training, engage effectively with communities and service users, and provide health or social work-related support. Experience of working in a public-service or community setting would help demonstrate that the organisation can manage sensitive engagement and translate peer knowledge into useful support. The selected supplier is a small organisation, showing that this requirement can be delivered by an SME-scale provider rather than only by a large national contractor. Relevant providers should monitor this buyer’s future requirements for the same service.
